The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the MLK Drive (formerly West River Drive/Spring Garden St. Lower) Bridge over the Schuylkill River near Center City Philadelphia. Work will include complete bridge deck replacement, new expansion joints, new scuppers and down spouting, new bearings, bridge painting, and limited substructure repair. The single 5 ft. sidewalk, used by both pedestrians and bicycles, will be widened to accommodate a normal width, multi-use bike path. The bridge is currently posted for 33 tons with a sufficiency rating of 48. This work is necessary to remove the current posting and prevent continued deterioration that could lead to further restrictions.
A final alternative for bridge rehabilitation or replacement is determined upon federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or state Categorical Exclusion clearance.
