Editing Interstate 95 Philadelphia (section)

== Waterfront Reconnection ==

Efforts to reconnect Center City with the Delaware waterfront have included capping portions of I-95 with parks and development. Penn's Landing, built over the highway in the 1970s, provided waterfront access but failed to fully heal the separation. More recent projects have extended the cap and improved connections, though the highway remains a barrier.<ref name="penndot"/>

The Delaware River Waterfront Corporation and city planning efforts envision continued reconnection through additional caps, improved crossings, and development that bridges the highway. These projects aim to undo the damage inflicted by highway construction while maintaining the transportation function that I-95 provides. The tension between highway capacity and urban connectivity continues shaping waterfront planning.<ref name="penndot"/>
