Passyunk Avenue Bridge, Double leaf bascule bridge in South Philadelphia, United States.
The Passyunk Avenue Bridge extends 2,240 feet across the Schuylkill River, featuring four traffic lanes and a dedicated bicycle route between South and Southwest Philadelphia.
Constructed in 1983, this bridge replaced a narrower two-lane structure from 1911, positioned slightly north of the original crossing location.
The bridge functions as an integral component of the BicyclePA Route E network, connecting communities on both sides of the Schuylkill River.
Marine vessels require a minimum four-hour notice for bridge openings, with communication conducted through VHF Channel 13 for passage coordination.
The structure maintains a vertical clearance of 50 feet when closed and expands to 200 feet horizontally when the double leaves open for water traffic.
