South Street Bridge, Steel bridge over Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, United States
The South Street Bridge spans 753 feet across the Schuylkill River, connecting Center City Philadelphia with the University City district of West Philadelphia.
The initial bridge from 1876 experienced structural problems, leading to a replacement in 1880 and another reconstruction in 1923 with major updates in 2010.
The bridge serves as a gathering point for photographers and city observers with its four public gazebos offering clear views of Philadelphia's downtown skyline.
The structure carries vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists across seven spans while providing direct access to Interstate 76 and the Schuylkill River Trail.
Metal mesh panels along the bridge's sides were designed to display illuminated images visible to drivers on the Schuylkill Expressway until 2017.
