The State Street Bridge, also known as the Soldiers and Sailor's Memorial Bridge, is a concrete arch bridge that spans Cameron Street and Paxton Creek in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The bridge was completed in 1930 as the principal entrance to Downtown and the State Capitol Complex from the east, terminating at Fisher Plaza. The bridge honors soldiers and sailors of all American Wars. Towering pylons at western end dramatizes bridge’s gateway importance and are adorned with various inscriptions and crafted scenes in relief.[1] The bridge was rehabilitated in 1955 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2]
