Comments
Dana and Kay,i just looked on the map and forgot to mention its the next bridge from this one heading toward Reading and there are also Norfolk/Southern railroad tracks running under the bridge on the far side of the river.This should help clear up any confusion.
Dana and Kay,thanks for posting this bridge on this site but I actually had the wrong bridge listed to have repairs done.The actual bridge is over the Schuylkill River between the Rte 176 entrance onto Rte 422 and the Lancaster Ave-Bingaman Street exit.What happened was I looked at the article online on WFMZ 69 news Berks newscast and saw the bridge there and knew I had the wrong one.As with the one you posted there is no historical information on this bridge either.I didn't find this out until I looked at the article online.They even had it on Google maps on the website.Hopefully this isn't an inconvenience.

By the way,the bridge that I reported on(the correct one)has been repaired underneath and the one lane that was closed is now open as per WFMZ channel 69 news reporting on their broadcast this evening.
