Philadelphia's Delaware River waterfront more than a decade in the making is kicking off this week - and will be in the works for several years.

Officials gathered at Penn's Landing on Wednesday for a ceremonial groundbreaking for The Park at Penn's Landing. The park will sit over I-95 between Walnut and Chestnut Streets.

"To provide a more seamless physical and visual connection between the Old City neighborhood and the Delaware River," Alan Hoffmann, chair of the board of the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, said at the event.
