Chestnut Street Bridge (Philadelphia)
The Chestnut Street Bridge is a bridge across the Schuylkill River that carries Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The original 1861 bridge was "a bridge whose scale and use of cast iron made it singular in the United States and throughout the world". The 1957 bridge, now one way, helps connect West Philadelphia with the rest of the city. History Construction of the first Chestnut Street Bridge, designed by Strickland Kneass, started on 4 September 1861. That bridge cost $500,000, was 1,528 feet (466 m) long, and was constructed of cast iron, with approaches and piers of granite.
