Connecting Communities to Philadelphia's Waterfront!
Wick Fisher White is proud to have been part of the recently completed Washington Avenue Connector, a major infrastructure improvement creating safer, more accessible connections between Philadelphia's neighborhoods and the Delaware River waterfront.
Working alongside Langan Engineering, Wick Fisher White provided electrical engineering design services for the project's pedestrian and roadway lighting, including power distribution and lighting controls.
The $9.5 million project features a new 14-foot-wide multi-use trail, improved bike lanes, upgraded intersections, enhanced pedestrian lighting, and new landscaping, making the corridor safer and more welcoming for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists.
Our Senior Project Manager, Rachel Innella, attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony and had the opportunity to experience the improvements firsthand, riding her bike to the event and putting the new connector to the test!
Congratulations to the City of Philadelphia, Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, Langan Engineering, and the entire project team on this exciting milestone!
