English: The Upper Ferry Bridge, also called the Colossus at Fairmount, Colossus Bridge, Wernwag Bridge, and Lancaster Schuylkill Bridge (since it was on the Philadelphia & Lancaster Turnpike). First bridge at Upper Ferry. Record-breaking bridge designed by Lewis Wernweg in 1812, completed in January 1813. Destroyed by fire in 1838. Succeeded by Charles Ellet Jr.'s 1842 wire suspension bridge, then the 1875 Callowhill Street truss bridge. Today, the current bridge is the 1965 Spring Garden Street Bridge.
