The Chestnut Street Bridge over the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia opened to traffic on March 19th at 5PM. Construction crews repainted the bridge’s steel superstructure, placed a new concrete deck, established a dedicated parking-protected bicycle lane and installed sidewalks, decorative lights, and parapets with railing. In addition, the $105.1 million project which began in August 2017 also included rehabilitation to several structures on both sides of the river, resurfacing of Chestnut Street, installation of new traffic signals and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) equipment and street lighting. Boles, Smyth Associates, Inc. was responsible for Traffic Signal Design, Traffic Control and stakeholder coordination.
