After years of driving over this bridge to get to West Philly, we walked the Delaware river trail from Gray's Ferry to the U Penn campus. Gave us time to admire the classic construction of this 4 lane-bridge. Noticed that it's designed to lift like a drawbridge for passing ships. Wonder when that was last used. Sad to see the stone columns marred by graffitti on the pedestrian walkway over the bridge.

Very pretty view, there was pretty bad construction near the bridge so traffic was a bit heavy. Although it’s just a nice bridge. Tried to get a pic but we were driving lol.

The University Avenue Bridge in Philadelphia is a historic and architectural marvel that spans the Schuylkill River with grace and grandeur. Built in the early 20th century, this Beaux-Arts style double-leaf bascule bridge is not only a functional piece of infrastructure but also a work of art.
