Walnut Street Bridge, Historic truss bridge in Harrisburg, United States.
The Walnut Street Bridge extends 2,801 feet across the Susquehanna River, connecting downtown Harrisburg with City Island through fifteen iron spans.
Built in 1890 by the Phoenix Bridge Company, this structure represents the development of standardized wrought iron truss bridges during the industrial revolution.
The structure earned the name 'The People's Bridge' and maintains a central role in community activities as a pedestrian connection between urban areas.
Following the 1972 Hurricane Agnes flood, the bridge transitioned from vehicle traffic to serve exclusively as a pathway for pedestrians and cyclists.
The eastern section of the bridge features illuminated outlines that create geometric patterns against the night sky over the Susquehanna River.
