Strawberry Mansion Bridge,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Designer:
Lichtenstein Consulting Engineers, Inc., Langhorne, PA
Contractor:
IA Construction Corporation, Concordville, PA
The Strawberry Mansion Bridge, built in 1897, was one of the first steel bridges in the country and had severely deteriorated. Adaptive use of the abandoned trolley track locations was used to construct a promenade. All of the work was performed within the surrounding environment and historical framework to maintain and preserve the original design.
