Philadelphia


Looking southeast from Eakins Oval and the Philly Museum of Art along Benjamin Franklin Parkway, courtesy Lou Corsaro.

Independence Hall, Philadelphia Bourse, Liberty Bell. Enough history, on with the roads.


Well, a railroad is a type of road. This is the elevated railway above 25th St., NB only, from Federal St., WB only.


Art Deco style, here at PA 611.


One-piece RIDOT shields, but since they're erected by the city, I can't yell at PennDOT.


Philly skimps on directional signage. 36th St. at Chestnut.


A bunch of one-piece assemblies on Washington Ave. EB at Columbus Blvd. As in the second photo, the directions and arrows should not be outlined in blue, but then again, the first photo has the right fonts and shields. At least there's also an old sign for the Drivers License Center. In the third photo, through the blur you can see a bubble shield (stretched 2-digit) for I-676.


5th St. (NB) tunnels under I-676, leaving the onramp to the Ben Franklin Bridge (US 30 EB) on the surface, where it meets Race Street in these photos. The old Old Christ Church sign and the "Bridge Traffic Only" are on the left fork of 5th St.; the center fork goes into the tunnel and the right fork is for the U.S. Mint.


Falls Bridge southbound from Fairmount Park.


The eastward view along the Schuylkill River of the US 1 Roosevelt Expwy. bridge.
