Mulberry Street Bridge

Mulberry Street Bridge is a concrete arch bridge in Harrisburg that spans Paxton Creek to connect East Harrisburg with Downtown. It carries vehicle and pedestrian traffic across this waterway.

The original iron structure from 1891 was replaced in 1909 with the current concrete design. This change shows the shift from traditional materials to modern engineering techniques.

The bridge functions as a connection point between Harrisburg neighborhoods, enabling community gatherings and social interactions among residents from different areas.

The crossing is accessible year-round and receives regular inspection to ensure safe use for all visitors. You can approach it on foot or by car and should be aware of local traffic conditions.

The arch design features of the structure were significant enough to merit consideration for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. This recognition honors the engineering innovation used in its construction.
