Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge (Pennsylvania)
Bridge in West Conshohocken and Connaughtown
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge is a bridge that carries Interstate 476 (I-476) across the Schuylkill River between West Conshohocken and Connaughtown. Originally an unnamed bridge, Richard Tilghman, a state representative, proposed legislation to change the name of the bridge to commemorate the events that drew the United States into World War II.[1] The bridge is notable for being in one of the most heavily-congested areas in the Philadelphia area.[2] The bridge was chosen for the rename due to Conshohocken and West Conshohocken’s refusal to rename the Matsonford Bridge due to its important history.[1]
