PHILADELPHIA (WTXF) - The full extent of road closures for the NFL Draft are now in effect, as of 6am Tuesday. Forget the morning weather, watch out where you're going and parking.

It really doesn't matter if you're going to the Art Museum, The Ben Franklin parkway on one side, and Kelly Drive on the other - or simply passing through town. This is the latest on road closures and parking restrictions that started 6am Tuesday.

These are the Phase 4 road closures: (Click 2017 NFL Draft logo for gallery.)
