Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: 63rd Street/Cobbs Creek Parkway HSIP Corridor
Purpose: To improve multimodal safety along the corridor.
Needs: Reduce speeding and aggressive driving as well as targeting additional focus areas to improve pedestrian safety.
The 63rd Street/Cobbs Creek Parkway study limits are from Route 1 (City Avenue) to Woodland Avenue which stretches approximately 6 miles in Philadelphia County.
The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) pre-design study phase is expected to finish in early 2022. At that time the project will move into engineering design. While engineering design is anticipated to last about two years, the department expects to issue more than one construction contract to carry out the 63rd Street/Cobbs Creek Parkway safety improvements, with the first early-action construction contract anticipated in 2024. Construction is expected to run from 2024 to 2026.
