Market Street Bridge
Market Street Bridge, Historic road bridge in Wilkes-Barre, US
The Market Street Bridge extends across the North Branch of the Susquehanna River with concrete construction and monumental architectural features in Beaux Arts style.
Built between 1926 and 1929, this fourth iteration of the bridge marks the transformation of Wilkes-Barre from an agricultural settlement into an industrial center.
The bridge represents a period when anthracite coal mining drove urban development in Pennsylvania, leading to substantial infrastructure improvements across Luzerne County.
The structure continues to serve as a main transportation route into downtown Wilkes-Barre, connecting both sides of the Susquehanna River for daily commuters.
The Historic American Engineering Record contains 41 photographs and 16 data pages documenting this National Register of Historic Places structure.
