At this time, only minimal/limited delays to deliveries and collections in the immediate areas of events are expected. If events change or more significant impacts are identified, this information will be updated.

Philadelphia
Due to the Papal visit and related events in Philadelphia, a large section of downtown will be designated as a security perimeter from Sept. 25 – 27. These security measures will restrict the ability of USPS to conduct deliveries and retail operations in this area.
