About
Viaduct Rail Park Project Development - The Viaduct Rail Park Project, including the completed Phase 1, and subsequent phases currently in the planning stages, is dedicated to the transformation of the defunct and blighted former Reading Railroad Viaduct into a public open green space for the use by workers, residents, and visitors to the Center City Philadelphia area. The transformation of the derelict 4.5-acre elevated Reading Railroad Viaduct in Philadelphia, running from 11th and Vine Streets to 9th and Fairmount with a western spur at Noble Street, into a public amenity and park will have a catalytic impact, creating both temporary and permanent jobs and stimulating new commercial and housing investment in an area immediately adjacent to Philadelphia's thriving and expanding downtown. The first phase of the project encompasses the renovation of a one quarter mile section running from 11th and Callowhill Streets to Broad and Noble Streets. Construction on the first phase of the project began in November 2016 and was completed and opened in June 2018.
