Chestnut Street Bridge

The Chestnut Street Bridge is a bridge across the Schuylkill River that carries Chestnut Street in Philadelphia, USA. 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".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Creativity in Cast Iron: Strickland Kneass’s Chestnut Street Bridge )〕 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,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= WEST PHILADELPHIA - "THE GENESIS OF 'THE CITY ACROSS THE RIVER'" )〕 started on 4 September 1861.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= A Tour of Philadelphia's Waterfront in 1876 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Civil War History in Philadelphia, PA )〕 That bridge cost $500,000, was 1,528 feet (466 m) long, and was constructed of cast iron, with approaches and piers of granite.〔 When the bridge formally opened on 23 June 1866,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Philadelphia Timeline, 1866 )〕 it was the second connection between Center City, Philadelphia and West Philadelphia, after the Market Street Bridge.〔
In 1957, to make way for the Schuylkill Expressway, the western pier of the bridge was removed, and the main spans of the bridge were replaced.〔
In 2011, a weight restriction was placed on it due to its age.
