The City Avenue Bridges are twin bridges that span the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Although the bridges carry the eastbound and westbound lanes of City Avenue, the bridges are not signed with the U.S. Route 1 designation. The bridges directly connect the Schuylkill Expressway to Lincoln Drive, Kelly Drive, and Ridge Avenue via the Gustine Lake interchange.[1][2]
