Behind the Scenes at Ben Franklin Bridge
The Philadelphia Connection was treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge by construction engineer and bridge director Valerie Priscott Bradford ’78 (far right). Before their walk across the bridge, the group was given a presentation on the history and construction of the bridge by Mike Howard, Delaware River Port Authority engineer and co-author of the book The Benjamin Franklin Bridge.
