Attention SEPTA BSL riders: Naval Hospital parking lot to be closed during DNC

A parking lot for those taking SEPTA's Broad Street Line instead of Regional Rail due to service reductions and delays will be closed during the Democratic National Convention.

The lot at the former Naval Hospital at 16th Street and Pattison Avenue will be closed from the end of the business day Friday until Aug. 1, according to SEPTA.

The 1,600-space lot was one of several the transit agency opened in the wake of fatigue cracks that have crippled Regional Rail service this summer.

For riders affected, SEPTA said free parking will be available starting Monday at South Philadelphia High School at Broad and Snyder Streets. People can access the Broad Street Line's Snyder Station there.
