Description	"The Grays Ferry Bridge was closed the other day, and is going to be replaced by a $10 million, six-lane bridge. That was always a good spot ot cross the Schuykill. the Swedes were rowing across in that area long before William Penn. The first regular Schuykill ferry service licensed by Penn was at Market st., about 1683. Some people complained that it wasn't regular enough. About 1740, the ferry franchise was bought by George Gray. That area has been called Grays Ferry ever since."
