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?

What is this? A picture for ants? The picture has to be at least three times bigger than this!

It’s a pretty common photographic trick where you set the camera up a long ways back and then use a huge telephoto lens to zoom in on the subject. It’s the same method used to take those photos where the moon looks like it’s humongous big

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

The science is still fuzzy, but most astrologists agree it can’t be much larger than a standard issue dodgeball

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.

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.

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

I’m more interested in the bridge he’s walking on.
