Preliminary engineering has set the long-awaited alignment between Bleigh Avenue and Pennypack on the Delaware, closing the final, critical gap between Tacony and Holmesburg on the North Delaware Greenway.
Delaware Avenue Extension – Phase II (with Sidepath)
Location: Orthodox Street to the Frankford Boat Launch
Project Status: In design (PennDOT)
Projected Construction: 2027–2029
PennDOT is leading the Delaware Avenue Extension from Orthodox Street to the Frankford Boat Launch. As the new roadway is constructed, a high-quality off-road sidepath will be built along the river edge, providing a continuous active-transportation route between the Robert A. Borski, Jr. Park and the Frankford Boat Launch in Bridesburg. Once complete, the project will yield nearly five uninterrupted miles of waterfront trail, connecting Allegheny Avenue to Cottman Avenue.
