Broad Street Market courtyard closes during construction; surrounding streets stay closed

Fences surround the Broad Street Market courtyard.

Harrisburg has closed the Broad Street Market courtyard and will keep several roads around the market blocked off as construction continues.

The city shared the news on social media on Monday, as part of the ongoing work to restore the fire-damaged brick building of the market.

The courtyard between the stone and brick buildings will be closed for the duration of the project due to safety concerns, the city stated. Construction on the brick building began in September 2025 and was projected to take 18-20 months.

The city has removed the courtyard pavers and benches.

Additionally, the city will keep the southern part of Verbeke Street, from Capital Street to N. 6th Street, closed for the duration of the project, as well as the small portion of Fulton Street, between the two sections of Verbeke Street.

According to the city, there will also be short-term closures on the northern part of Verbeke Street for utility work. The city will update the street closure map at least 72 hours before scheduled closures.
