The Girard Point Bridge is a double-decked cantilevered truss bridge carrying Interstate 95 across the Schuylkill River in the American city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The bridge was opened in 1973.[1] It is the last crossing of the Schuylkill River, which empties into the Delaware River less than half a mile downstream. It is crossed by an average of 148,500 vehicles per day, including 6% truck traffic.

- A bridge similar to this appears in Need for Speed: Most Wanted , except it is designed to resemble the Tobin Bridge in Boston and the Brent Spence Bridge in Ohio
Construction and renovation in 2010 and 2011
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation selected Buckley and Co. as the main contractor and a joint venture between Alpha-Liberty Painting as the paint contractor. The bridge deck was milled and a new surface was poured and the structural steel was painted in order to extend the life of the steel. Work finished in the fall of 2011, but restarted in 2012 for expansion-joint replacement.[2]
