Nice pleasant Sunday afternoon here in Atlanta, and I've got nothing else to
really do, but sit here and trace out your snaps with MSN Live Local. :-)

This photo caught my eye - http://mryamamoto.50megs.com/philly-west/9400.jpg
. I do remember that fantastic old concrete arch span bridge from when I was
a youngling passing through Philly with my Dad, but it doesn't appear to be
in use anymore. I was wondering if anyone knows anything more about it,
history, future plans, etc.

That highway is the I-76 Schuylkill Expressway near the Belmont
Avenue/Green Lane interchange, heading eastbound.

The concrete arch bridge is the railroad bridge for the former Manayunk
commuter rail line, which ran from the Paoli (SEPTA R5) commuter rail
line to Manayunk. I see that the overhead catenary lines have been
removed from the railroad bridge.

I have a 1987 photo of the bridge on the following website article,
about 2/3 the way down. The overhead catenary lines on the railroad
bridge were in place then.

Last summer when I was camping in the area (around the last three exits
before the NY border northbound) all the guide signs on 81 were crawling
with Clearview.

I saw some BGS with Clearview in the KofP area: southbound US 202 at
I-76, US 422 at US 202, I-476 at US 30. Glad to see someone caught the
PA 202 sign just after PA 352 on northbound US 202 in Valley Forge.

New highway projects in my area (Harrisburg), including two along I-81,
have produced nothing by the old font- no clearview signs.
>From what I've seen, I'm almost convinced that Penndot has decided to
move away from Clearview- there's simply no evidence around here that
they're into Clearview any longer.

[Dave P.]

Yes, as well as the signs on the US-30 and PA-283 near Lancaster. In
south central PA, you tend to get very random bits o' Clearview here
and there. I-83 just south of PA581 has a couple (southbound at New
Cumberland and at Lewisberry Rd, off the top of my head). Otherwise the
new stuff is nearly all FHWA.

PS - The New Cumberland sign on I-83 south is also about the only
non-exit-only exit sign I've seen in PA where the arrow is below the
destination name and not to the side. I may or may not have a picture
of this... I'll search my collection.

All the ones I've seen are in Clearview, even in places like south
central PA where the majority of BGS's are in FHWA. To be honest I
don't mind the Clearview on these particular signs because of the size
of the font. The main thing that bugs me about PA's Clearview on BGS's
is the size of it. Texas, for example, uses a more reasonable size
Clearview font IMO.

[Steve]

I mind the use of Clearview on those signs. I'd prefer, say, a yellow
on yellow scheme. Invent your own safety message!
