West River Drive Bridge

West River Drive Bridge is a steel structure crossing the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. It connects different parts of the city and carries cars, bicycles, and pedestrians across the waterway to reach recreational areas along the banks.

The bridge was completed in 1966 and has served as a main crossing point over the river for more than five decades. It was reconstructed in recent years to meet current transportation needs.

The bridge contributes to the transportation network of Philadelphia, enabling residents and visitors to access recreational areas along the riverfront.

The bridge underwent reconstruction and now offers dedicated paths for bicycles and pedestrians. Check current conditions before your visit to plan your crossing safely.

The renovation project received 20.1 million dollars from the Bridge Formula Program, marking a substantial investment in Philadelphia's infrastructure.
