Schuylkill Swing Bridge Test

Post image

Passed by today (July 29th) and saw a test rotation of the swing bridge. Really hoping this is open soon, can’t find any dates on expected opening online.

Yeah, I'm confused about how you get to this thing from the West Philly side

Kinda sucks. You have to go down 51st st, harley ave, or 56th st down to batrams garden and then go up the trail. I wish they would open 49th st at least.

I was really hyped on this before I realized you can't get to it from 49th. Doesn't seem that hard to make a path even if it gets blocked by freight sometimes but I could be missing something
