Exciting progress is underway for the new Park at Penn’s Landing! Over the past week, crews have successfully placed the first set of steel beams above I‑95—an overnight operation that represents a pivotal step in transforming this long-awaited public space .

The steel superstructure will serve as the foundation for the park that’s designed to span the highway, reconnecting the city to the riverfront. This overnight installation underscores the project’s complexity, requiring meticulous planning, traffic coordination, and execution. The new steel work lays the groundwork for pathways, landscaping, lighting, and public amenities—all crafted to celebrate Philadelphia’s waterfront and offer residents a dynamic, accessible civic destination.
