Notes
  • Significance: Mead Avenue, formerly Dock Street, bears the unusual distinction of having two bridges on the same site at one time. Grafted to the original double-intersection Whipple truss built by Penn Bridge Works, external Baltimore trusses help this 1872 structure carry modern traffic loads. This compromise, born of economizing impulse and public turmoil, has allowed the bridge a longer life than might otherwise have been possible.
