Government Office & Library Closings Today (March 11, 2026)

📢 Important Service Notices & Alerts

• USPS Processing Backlog: A “Yellow Alert” remains in effect for sorting facilities in the Chicago and New York metro areas. While mail delivery has stabilized, First-Class and Priority parcels may experience an additional 3–5 day delay as hubs clear the remainder of the winter storm backlog.

• Sanitation (Philadelphia): The city has transitioned back to regular alleyway pickups, but a “Curb-Only” notice persists for neighborhoods in Northwest Philly (Manayunk/Roxborough) where narrow streets remain restricted by compacted snow piles.

• Infrastructure Notice (NYC): The Park Avenue Tunnel remains closed for essential construction and repairs through April. Additionally, evening commuters should expect full closures of the Grand Street Bridge (11:00 PM – 5:00 AM) due to ongoing mechanical rehab.

• Heating Advisory (Baltimore): Repairs are ongoing at the Mitchell Courthouse. While the building is open, certain courtrooms may experience fluctuating temperatures; staff and visitors are encouraged to bring layers.

• Parking (NYC): Alternate Side Parking (ASP) is IN EFFECT today. Residents must follow all posted street-cleaning signs to avoid fines, as snow removal operations have largely concluded in the five boroughs.
