The Schuylkill River Bridge (also known as the Diamond Run Viaduct)[1] is a bridge that carries the Pennsylvania Turnpike across the Schuylkill River.[2]
This section of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which is located between two major interchanges, became "the most heavily traveled four-lane section of the turnpike" following its opening, according to the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission.[3]
