The preferred alternative for this project will result in the removal of a reinforced-concrete box culvert that currently carries the creek underground between South Broad and South Warren Streets in downtown Trenton. The “day- lighting” project will realign the creek into a natural channel with stabilization of the creek embankments. The project is being sponsored by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District (USACE) with participa- tion by the City of Trenton.
