Congressman Chaka Fattah and Senator Bob Casey both announced today, in separate press releases, that Philadelphia had been awarded $10.265 million in U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER grants.

The grant will be split across three projects, with $3.265 million allocated to converting an abandoned swing rail bridge over the Schuylkill River near Grays Ferry into a bridge trail.

Once refurbished, the Schuylkill River Swing Bridge will connect the Grays Ferry Crescent Trail, which runs along the perimeter of the University of Pennsylvania’s “Pennovation” campus, to a segment of the Bartram’s Mile Trail that’s currently under construction. Rehabbing the swing bridge is expected to cost $14 million.
