Future Attractions

Aerial Tram

This fully funded project will eventually provide an aerial tram to link the Camden and Philadelphia waterfronts. Gondola cars will glide over the Delaware River from Camden and, 5 minutes later, will land on the Philadelphia side of the river. These cars will be heated and air-conditioned, and will be able to transport 3000 persons per hour across the water.
