Philadelphia Adding SEPTA-Only Lanes To Clear Up Center City Traffic Issues

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Some changes are coming to a couple of Center City's most traveled streets. On Monday, the city started the construction of new traffic lanes that will only be for SEPTA buses.

It's all part of an effort to clean up some of the traffic congestion around Center City.

This only impacts the far right lanes on Market Street from 15th to 20th Streets, and JFK Boulevard between 15th and 19th Streets.

SEPTA plans to see how this impacts traffic over the next year-and-a-half before deciding if it will add more lanes just for buses.
