Ben Franklin Bridge in Spring 21

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence, when mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers (Thich Nhat Hanh)

Brandywine Bridge

Human life is mystery/ everybody takes the same road/ yet different path/ some get stuck with the tree and branches/ some are either in muddy, rocky, or sandy road/ some rely on the current that sail them smoothly to the end.

Love is also a mystery/also so fragile/ love can easily turns into hate / and vice versa/

love is so fragile enough to make you realize/there is only a thin line between love and hate

ARCHITECTURAL INFO:

Plans for a bridge to augment the ferries across the Delaware River began as early as 1818, when one plan envisioned using Smith/Windmill Island, a narrow island off the Philadelphia shore. But it was only in the 1910s that visions began to approach reality.

Work began on January 6, 1922. At the peak of construction, 1,300 people worked on the bridge, and 15 died during its construction. The bridge was originally painted by a commercial painting company owned by David A. Salkind, of Philadelphia, which also painted the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge opened to traffic on July 1, 1926, three days ahead of its scheduled opening on the nation’s 150th anniversary. At completion, its 1,750-foot (533-meter) span was the world's longest for a suspension bridge, a distinction it held until the opening of the Ambassador Bridge in 1929.

The name was changed to "Benjamin Franklin Bridge" in 1955

ARCHITECTURE AL INFO:

The Benjamin Franklin Bridge, originally named the Delaware River Bridge and known locally as the Ben Franklin Bridge, is a suspension bridge across the Delaware River connecting Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Camden, New Jersey

The bridge was dedicated as part of the 1926 Sesquicentennial Exposition, celebrating the 150th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.

From 1926 to 1929, it had the longest single span of any suspension bridge in the world.
