THE SUCCESS OF THE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN BRIDGE REHAB PROJECT

摘要

The Benjamin Franklin Bridge, a suspension bridge across the Delaware River connecting Philadelphia, Pa., and Camden, N.J., carries 100,000 vehicles and 35,000 rail commuters per day on its seven lanes, two railroad tracks and two walkways for pedestrians and bicyclists. So, when Port Authority Transit Corporation (PATCO) and the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA) had to implement two long-term continuous track outages for the first time in history, totaling 110 days for major track rehabilitation and reconstruction, strategic planning and cooperation were a top priority.
