Phase I of the rehabilitation of Central Avenue began in the summer of 2012 and included storm drain reconstruction and roadway construction and beautification from Madison Street to Baltimore Street. Phase I was completed in the summer of 2015.

Phase II of the Central Avenue Project continues the streetscape rehabilitation along Central Avenue from Baltimore Street to Lancaster Street. Work also includes the construction of the Harbor Point Connector Bridge which extends Central Avenue to Harbor Point, a 27-acre mixed-use development located on the waterfront west of Fells Point and just south and east of the growing Harbor East neighborhood.

Construction of the bridge is being done in stages:

• Stage 1 of this phase began in May 2017 and was completed in June 2018. Work on the final touches of the Harbor Point Bridge and the roadway elements between Aliceanna Street and Lancaster Street were completed in September 2019.
• Stage 2F began in fall of 2020 and includes work on the west side of Central Avenue between Fleet Street and Baltimore Street.
• Stage 2G began in spring of 2022 and is slated for completion in early fall 2022.
• Stage 2H began in late summer of 2022 and is slated for completion in late fall 2022.

The streetscape improvements and the new connector bridge will bring many benefits to this growing and active neighborhood and commercial district including improved safety, roadway capacity, accessibility, mobility, and aesthetic appeal.
