In response to public interest in the giant sinkhole caused by a sewer line break at 43rd and Baltimore earlier this month, the Philadelphia Water Department’s in-house historian Adam Levine will do a presentation on Mill Creek and the sewer project on Tuesday, June 25. Updates on the sinkhole repair work at the intersection of 43rd and Baltimore, which has been closed to traffic since June 4th, will also be provided.

The event will be held at USciences’ McNeil Science and Technology Center (Room 145) at 600 South 43rd Street from 6:15 to approximately 8:30 p.m. 

The event is free and open to the public. For more details and to register, go here.

The photo above was taken at 43rd and Baltimore last Sunday (June 16), but the sinkhole was already covered up by this past weekend. It appears that the intersection will re-open soon and the trolley may be back in service shortly. Please check the Route 34 Twitter account for updates. In the meantime, shuttle buses continue to replace the trolley between 61st Street and the 40th Street Portal.

UPDATE: The Route 34 Trolley will resume service at 3 p.m. on Monday, June 24:
