State Street Bridge, Deck arch bridge in Harrisburg, United States.
The State Street Bridge extends 1,312 feet over Pennsylvania Route 230 and Paxton Creek, featuring concrete construction with steel girder additions at its eastern section.
Construction of the bridge began in September 1925 with a combined funding of state and city resources, leading to its completion and inauguration in August 1930.
The bridge commemorates military service through two limestone pylons inscribed with dates of eight American wars and decorated with granite benches listing battles of Pennsylvania troops.
The structure maintains its function as a primary entrance to downtown Harrisburg and the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex while accommodating daily vehicular traffic patterns.
Each pylon displays a 21-foot-tall carved eagle weighing 270 tons, created by sculptor Lee Lawrie to represent the United States Army and Navy forces.
