Preliminary work has begun on a $328 million project that would cover I-95 to create greenspace along the Delaware River waterfront.
The project, PennDOT said in a statement, has two main components: a new Park at Penn's Landing, and a new signature bridge at South Street, both of which will also extend over Columbus Boulevard to connect cyclists and pedestrians to the newly completed Delaware River Trail.
The new park will be an 11.5-acre civic space spanning I-95 and Columbus Boulevard between Chestnut and Walnut Streets, extending from Front Street to the Delaware River, said PennDOT. Also, the agency explained that a concurrent project will include the park topside amenities including gardens, play areas, flexible open space, a contemplative setting for the Irish and Scottish Memorials, and a mass-timber pavilion.
During construction, I-95 motorists will experience minor lane shifts on the mainline and adjacent ramps, PennDOT said and, other restrictions also will take place on I-95 and adjacent surface streets — including Columbus Boulevard and Front Street, during various phases of construction.
