Market Street Bridge, Road bridge in Pennsylvania, United States
The Market Street Bridge extends 1,274 feet across the Susquehanna River, connecting Kingston and Wilkes-Barre through twelve concrete arch spans.
The bridge, constructed between 1926 and 1929, incorporates classical design elements from architects Carrère and Hastings with engineering by Benjamin Davis and David Keefe.
Four triumphal arches with limestone eagles stand on the bridge as monuments dedicated to First World War veterans, reflecting local military heritage.
The structure features paired pylons on both sides connected by a balustrade running the entire length, serving as both safety barriers and decorative elements.
The bridge earned recognition in the National Register of Historic Places in 1988 for its architectural features and engineering achievements from the early 20th century.
