Delaware River Port Authority, Benjamin Franklin Bridge South Walkway Bicycle and Pedestrian Ramp

Delaware River Port Authority, Benjamin Franklin Bridge South Walkway Bicycle and Pedestrian Ramp

Project Overview

Owned and operated by the Delaware River Port Authority, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge is one of four primary vehicular bridges between Philadelphia and southern New Jersey.  The Benjamin Franklin Bridge allows for joggers and bikers to cross the Delaware River using ramps and walkways.

The Ben Franklin Bridge South Walkway Bicycle and Pedestrian Ramp project provided track shielding to facilitate the demolition and construction of the pedestrian and bicycle ramp, including steel erection, railing fabrication and erection, drilled shaft installation and construction of concrete pier, deck and abutment structures. The south walkway got a 800-foot-long ramp to replace a steep stairwell that resided there. To promote ADA accessibility and safety, the proposed ramp was built on the Camden side of the 1.4-mile bridge making it handicap-accessible and easier for bicycle riders to reach the other side.

Envision is provided CPM scheduling services, including review and approval of the project baseline CPM schedule. Monthly CPM schedule updates were reviewed and analyzed and a detailed review report was provided.
