This magnificent bridge, built in the early 1900s, spans 1,400 feet across the Susquehanna River, connecting the communities of Wilkes-Barre and Kingston via East Market Street. It provides access to Kirby Park, the west side neighborhoods, and the Luzerne County Levee Trail, making it one of the county's most popular locations for walking, jogging, and sightseeing.
On each side of the bridge are massive pylons topped with eagle statues weighing 5,500 pounds—heavier than a fully grown rhinoceros. These four statues pay tribute to the fallen veterans of World War I. It offers a spectacular backdrop, worthy of stopping to capture some memorable photos.
