Manayunk Bridge Construction Mobilization Update

    • manayunk bridge top

Next to the Schuylkill Banks Boardwalk, the project that most trail enthusiasts are waiting for to kick off is the much anticipated construction of the trail over Manayunk Bridge.  The contractor responsible for the Manayunk Bridge trail job, AP Construction, has been working since July (when the Notice to Proceed was issued by the Philadelphia Streets Department) on pre-construction tasks.

Before construction can begin, AP needs to remove contaminated soil, demolish a portion of bridge over the Norfolk Southern lilne and coordinate with SEPTA on fencing and other matters.   They are making progress on all three fronts. Once complete, with those logistics, they can start regular construction.

AP has opened their field office on Green Lane.

Meanwhile, a ceremonial groundbreaking date has been set for October 28th at 11am.
