For the century that the Penn Street Bridge has carried traffic into Reading, not much work other than small-scale repairs have been done to it.
It shows.
Chunks of concrete are missing from its extravagant arches and railings. But more concerning to PennDOT is the deterioration to the beams, deck and supports inside the bridge.
PennDOT plans to start a massive repair in the next couple of years intended to restore Reading’s iconic gateway to its former glory.
