Connecting Community: Bridging I-95
Wilmington, DE

The Connecting Community feasibility study investigates options for capping I-95, seeking to heal the divide created by the highway’s construction in the 1960’s.

When I-95 plowed through a predominately Black neighborhood it removed homes and businesses and severed the community.  This deck-over park will create new amenities within a robust landscape framework – the landscape itself a destination and natural respite that will cover the highway canyon and ever-present river of traffic it contains, creating a place for people to gather, celebrate, relax and play.
