| The arch bridge on Walnut Street in Perkasie
is a triple arch bridge resting on piers. It sits higher over this waterway
than any other bridge in Perkasie & Sellersville. |
|
The high arch of the bridge also makes it
difficult to view oncoming traffic on top of the bridge or when sitting
at the traffic light on Constitution Avenue. |
 |
|
 |
| Buttresses support the piers for extra strength. |
|
Why is the shape of the buttress different
on the Sellersville, PA (downstream) side of this bridge? |
 |
|
 |
| A sidewalk was added during the 1970 deck
reconstruction project. |
|
Because of the extensive use of this bridge
by pedestrians and other bike path users, sidewalks would be helpful
on both sides of this bridge. |
