The Market Street Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that crosses the Susquehanna River between Kingston and Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
History and notable features This bridge was designed by the architectural firm of Carrère and Hastings with consulting engineers Benjamin H. Davis and David A. Keefe, and was built between 1926 and 1929. The bridge is with twelve spans, including four main spans measuring each. ()
The architects designed four triumphal arches (or pylons) surmounted by limestone eagles with partially spread wings, intended as a memorial to veterans of the First World War. The paired pylons, two at each side of the bridge, are connected by a classical balustrade running the full length of the bridge.
