(via PennDOT/95revive.com) PHILADELPHIA - Preliminary construction began this week on a project that would reconnect Philadelphia to the Delaware River waterfront.
On Monday, PennDOT gave its contractor approval to begin work on covering I-95 between Chestnut and Walnut Streets to help connect Old City and Penn’s Landing.
The ‘Central Access Philadelphia’ – or CAP project – has been years in the making and is part of a huge project that will coast nearly $330 million.
The project touts two main features, including a new park at Penn’s Landing and a new bridge at South Street. Both will also extend over Columbus Boulevard and onto the Delaware River Trail.
