There are a series of photos on eBay of the old 62nd Street bridge
standing alongside its replacement bridge.
Here is one:

Did the old bridge continue to carry auto traffic after the PRC
abandoned route 94 Sharpsburg in November 1960? It would seem that
the Lawrenceville and Sharpsburg ramps from the old bridge would have
had to have been removed in order to make room for the new bridge's
entrances and exits to the respective streets at either end.
I wonder when the old bridge was demolished. I don't recall it being
there in the early 1960's, but that doesn't mean it wasn't hanging on
for awhile back then.
