The Delaware River Port Authority, which operates the bridge, said PATCO train service and the pedestrian walkway won't be impacted by the race.
If you need to enter or exit the city on Sunday morning, you'll want to take a different bridge like the Walt Whitman Bridge — though that may lead you toward early tailgaters heading to the Eagles' 4 p.m. game at Lincoln Financial Field.
Other bridges you could take include the Betsy Ross or Tacony-Palmyra.
