Holme Avenue Bridge

The Holme Avenue Bridge is a closed-spandrel concrete arch bridge that carries Holme Avenue across Wooden Bridge Run (a tributary of Pennypack Creek) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's Department of Transportation, it should not be confused with the other "Hol

me Avenue Bridge" over Pennypack Creek about 1,000 yards west of Wooden Bridge Run. According to the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, this bridge "is a good example of an urban concrete bridge embellished to imitate stone."
