Notes
  • Significance: The Falls Bridge is a unique and well-preserved example of the Petit through truss design, capable of carrying a roadway on both its upper and lower chords. The upper deck remains incomplete, but is nonetheless an example of the Philadelphia Department of Public Works and Bureau of Surveys' far-sighted transportation planning under Chief Engineer George S. Webster. The bridge crosses the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park, a National Register-listed historic district.
