City Avenue Bridges, Twin road bridges in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, US.

The City Avenue Bridges consist of two parallel steel-plate girder structures spanning the Schuylkill River with respective lengths of 1,921 and 1,990 feet.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation inaugurated these bridges in 1955, establishing a vital connection between the Schuylkill Expressway and multiple urban routes.

The American Institute of Steel Construction granted these bridges a Certificate of Award Class II for their structural design and engineering execution.

These bridges manage approximately 109,000 vehicles daily, connecting Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, Kelly Drive, and Ridge Avenue through the Gustine Lake interchange.

The northbound bridge features 11 spans while the southbound bridge incorporates 12 spans, each accommodating three lanes of traffic across the Schuylkill River.
