Perkiomen Bridge, Stone arch bridge in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, US
The Perkiomen Bridge extends over 300 feet across Perkiomen Creek with six semi-circular arches, including a central span measuring 76 feet in length.
Built between 1798 and 1799 through lottery funding of 20,000 dollars, this structure served as the main route connecting Philadelphia to Reading on the Manatawny Pike.
The bridge stands near the historic Perkiomen Bridge Hotel, which operated as a crucial stagecoach stop between Philadelphia and Reading during the 19th century.
Following its 1928 expansion, the north side received concrete extensions and additional traffic lanes, adapting the structure for modern transportation needs.
Five arches span the 150-foot-wide creek, while a sixth arch supports the eastern approach, featuring cut stones laid in regular courses on the spandrels.
