Walt Whitman Bridge Gets 4 Years of Repairs
Philadelphia's busiest bridge to New Jersey and certainly its most poetic, the Walt Whitman is up for a $128 million renovation project for the next four years.
While not the most traffic-friendly news that commuters want to hear, the 53-year-old bridge is in need of some re-decking. What will this mean for those that travel daily? Until the makeover is completed, the construction crew will take out one lane of traffic at a time in 2011. Steel decking and asphalt paving will be replaced.
As Walt Whitman once wrote, I accept reality and dare not question it.
