Penn Street Bridge, Road bridge in Reading, United States
The Penn Street Bridge extends over a significant geographic feature, connecting different sections of Reading with robust concrete and steel construction elements.
The Penn Street Bridge began operations in 1913, marking the start of enhanced transportation infrastructure development in early twentieth-century Reading.
The bridge functions as a central meeting point for community gatherings and serves as a reference landmark for directions throughout Reading.
