Benjamin Franklin Bridge
Bridges / Tunnels, Old City
Fodor's Review:
When the bridge opened in 1926, its 1,750-foot main span made it the longest suspension bridge in the world. Paul Cret, architect of the Rodin Museum, was the designer. The bridge has been having some rust problems of late, but there's a massive project underway to restore its glorious blue paint job. The bridge is most impressive when it's lighted at night. Start the 1¾-mi walk (one-way) from either the Philadelphia side, two blocks north of the U.S. Mint, or the Camden, New Jersey, side.
