The Walnut Street Bridge is the oldest surviving bridge over the Susquehanna. Opened by the People's Bridge Co. in 1890, "Old Shakey," one of the last remaining multi-span Phoenix truss bridges, was a toll bridge until 1957. Flood damage in 1972 closed it to automobiles. Three of its 15 spans were destroyed in 1996.
