I-95 CAP Spring Construction Update: Building the future Park at Penn’s Landing

Published on May 2 2025

PennDOT recently announced several updates on the I-95 CAP construction on Penn’s Landing. This work continues this spring and includes significant work on the east side of I-95 and the South Street Pedestrian Bridge.


Here's what to know:

  • Crews are building strong foundations and support piers to hold up the new park deck over I-95 and Columbus Boulevard.
  • Work is happening on both sides of the highway, including drilling and installing steel beams underground.
  • The South Street Pedestrian Bridge extension is being assembled and will connect Center City to the waterfront.
  • Two highway ramps are temporarily closed:
  • Lombard Circle ramp to I-95 North (closed for 2 years)
  • Market Street ramp to I-95 South (closed until November)
  • Lane shifts and closures are happening on I-95 and Columbus Boulevard during construction.
  • Utility work and sewer installation are also underway.
  • Later in 2025, crews will begin placing large steel beams for the new park deck.

To review the entire spring update.

PennDOT is replacing and expanding the covered section of I-95 at Penn’s Landing along the Waterfront in Center City Philadelphia under the department’s $329 million I-95/CAP project. The two main components of this project are the construction of a new 11.5-acre Park at Penn’s Landing and a new South Street pedestrian bridge.
