17595 | Margie Street over Amtrak

Margie Street bridge is a single span, riveted Parker pony truss bridge, fabricated in 1919. The bridge crosses over four electrified tracks of the Northeast Corridor. It was officially closed in the summer of 2017, due to severe deterioration of the stringers on the end span at the abutment. Prior to closure, the bridge was posted for a 17-ton weight restriction.
This project aims to restore multimodal connectivity through Margie Street over Amtrak railroad, connecting the Strawberry Mansion and Glenwood neighborhoods of North Philadelphia. The scope of this project is to design and construct the rehabilitation of the bridge, to reopen it for safe public crossing. Rehabilitation is anticipated to include revisions to the through girders. Additionally, rehabilitation aims to be sensitive to the historic structure and generally minimize changes to character defining features.
A final alternative for bridge rehabilitation or replacement is determined upon federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or state
Categorical Exclusion clearance.
