Was there ever a bridge connecting northampton street in wilkes-barre, PA to? -

the? Northampton street in Edwardsville/Kingston, and if so what kind of bridge, when was it built and when was it torn down. Pics of it would also be very much appreciated.

The Market St. Bridge and the Pierce St. Bridge are the only two bridges that have ever connected Wilkes-Barre and Kingston.However, there used to be several bridges over what is now Wilkes-Barre Blvd. Prior to the 80 s several railroad tracks ran in that area and the bridges easily got cars over the tracks. Only the South St. Bridge remains.
