Chestnut Street Bridge, Bridge over Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, United States
The Chestnut Street Bridge spans 1,528 feet across the Schuylkill River, connecting Center City Philadelphia with the western section through multiple traffic lanes.
The first bridge at this location was completed in 1866 at a cost of 500,000 dollars, featuring cast iron construction with granite approaches and piers.
The bridge represents a vital transportation artery in Philadelphia's infrastructure network, enabling thousands of daily commuters to traverse between different city sectors.
Following extensive repairs that concluded in March 2022, the bridge now accommodates vehicle traffic in one direction, with weight restrictions for heavy vehicles.
The 1957 reconstruction required substantial modifications to incorporate the Schuylkill Expressway, including the removal of the western pier and replacement of main spans.
