Reply to comment by Krayolad3 in What part of Philly is this scene from Rocky movie at???? It looks like it’s Kensington between Huntingdon n Somerset but that walkable bridge isn’t there. by Krayolad3

It's the B Street Bridge in Kensington.

It looks different now cuz they painted murals along the side but it was 46 years ago so a lot's changed. The tavern from the original Rocky was right near the bridge but it's long gone now.

I live n the area (near Huntington) and walk B street bridge often, this bridge looks VERY close to the truss the train runs on. Unless they did a lil camera magic to make it seem like it’s that close I just don’t get how it could be B st bridge. I’ll take ur word for it ig but just to make clear..there wasn’t another bridge that was alongside the huntingdon/somerset truss back n the 70s/80s?

This is the bridge over where that big heroin encampment was that Dr. Oz visited about 5 years ago.

Hopefully we don’t have to see his face ever again.

I’m in Port Richmond and we’ve gotten more addicts wandering through the last 5 years and it’s directly bc of Oz. I mean they went everywhere but still.

But you can’t see the El from the B Street bridge. It looks like that’s the El running parallel to the bridge. I’d bet it’s somewhere near Kensington and Lehigh.

It mostly looks different because the bridge in Rocky was demolished and replaced with a new bridge
