Market Street Bridge (Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania)

The Market Street Bridge is a distinguished concrete arch bridge that crosses the Susquehanna River between Kingston and Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

[1] This bridge was designed by the architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings with consulting engineers Benjamin H. Davis and David A. Keefe,[2] and was built between 1926 and 1929.

[citation needed] The architects designed four triumphal arches (or pylons) surmounted by limestone eagles with partially spread wings, intended as a memorial to veterans of the First World War.

In 1988, the bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
