History and architectural features

This historic structure is an, open-spandrel concrete arch bridge with thirteen spans. It was built in 1927, and crosses Mineral Spring Creek. Provisionally known as the Mineral Springs Road Viaduct, its name was changed to Lindbergh Viaduct on June 15, 1927 when the Reading City Council dedicated the bridge in honor of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, who had completed his solo transatlantic flight that year.
There are five main spans, each, and eight secondary spans.
