"Philadelphia's Park at Penn's Landing: Transforming the Waterfront and Reconnecting Old City"
Work has officially begun on the Park at Penn's Landing, a nearly 12-acre park being built over I-95 in Philadelphia. The park aims to reconnect the city to the waterfront, stitching back together neighborhoods that were separated when the highway was constructed. The project, estimated to cost $360 million, is expected to generate $1.6 billion in economic activity over the next 25 years. The park will feature gardens, a cafe, pavilion, amphitheater, and serve as a central meeting place and performance venue. A separate South Street bridge will allow pedestrians and cyclists to access the Delaware River Trail.
