Wissahickon Creek Bridge
Share: 
Description
FROM THE 1996-2001 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORIC BRIDGE SURVEY: The 2 span, 53'-long reinforced concrete closed spandrel arch bridge, built in 1922, is finished with concrete parapets with incised panels. Much of the bridge has been repaired with a shotcrete coating, including some areas of the parapets and most of the intrados. The bridge is not an early example of its type, and numerous better examples exist in the state. Neither the bridge nor its setting is historically or technologically distinguished.Facts
