PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — The Schuylkill River Crossing Swing Bridge opens on Friday.
It connects trails in Grays Ferry and Bartram’s Garden and extends the Schuylkill River Trail by a mile and a half.
The bridge allows small boats and jet skis to pass under the span.
And, a 225-foot-long center portion pivots to permit larger boats, while walkers, runners and cyclists are held behind gates.
A ribbon-cutting on the $28 million project is scheduled for Friday afternoon at the Grays Ferry Crescent Trail.
