About this postcard

The Market Street Bridge spans the Susquehanna River at Harrisburg at night, its concrete arches and lamp posts lit and reflected in the water beneath a bright moon. Completed in 1928, the bridge links Harrisburg with Wormleysburg and was promoted as "ONE OF PENNSYLVANIA'S FINEST BRIDGES."
