There is no lane for an automobile to stop while crossing the
Platt Bridge.

In 1968, Interstate 95 was not completed through Philadelphia.
At the time, the George Platt Bridge was known as the Penrose
Avenue Bridge. This bridge was congested with traffic from
Chester, Delaware, and the Philadelphia Airport. It doesn't
look likely that Jane Doe was thrown from the bridge by someone
who was passing through.

Philadelphia can be cold in March, but Jane Doe seemed to be
wearing an excessive amount of clothes. She was wearing a suit,
2 sweaters, and a polo shirt, yet she didn't have a coat.

Jane Doe was found in the Schuylkill River 50 feet west of
Penrose Ave., in Schuylkill River, near oil refinery.
This location is 50 feet west of the Pratt Bridge. Access to
the river at this location would not have been an easy task.
The Lower Schuylkill River is tidal at this location, near the
junction of the larger Delaware River. I have to wonder if Jane
Doe went into the Schuylkill River further west and floated
toward the bridge as the tide ebbed.

Jane Doe could have been at the Penrose Diner.

Penrose Diner ends 24-hour service as the round-the-clock world
shifts
by Michael Klein, Updated: December 30, 2018
HTML https://www.philly.com/resizer/hFtpLY3XdQoXO5uILXl16llo4q8=/1400x932/smart/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-pmn.s3.amazonaws.com/public/D33BHSFAD5B25LCDMQXSPQHJKI.jpg
Penrose Diner in South Philadelphia will end its 50-year
tradition of 24-hour operation at 11:59 p.m. Monday, reflecting
changes among not only its customers but also the workforce in
general.
“The people in the 21-to-25 range are just not going out the way
they used to,” Bill Dovas, an owner, said Sunday. The Penrose,
at the intersection of 20th Street and Penrose and Packer
Avenues, came to fame in a different era, benefiting from
traffic off the Platt Bridge.
“When they go out to the clubs, they’re afraid to drive and
don’t want to pay for an Uber both ways," Dovas said.
The Penrose’s hours will be 6 a.m. to midnight daily starting
New Year’s Day. Dovas said the shorter hours would allow the
diner to focus on quality and consistency. He said staffing also
was a problem because “my longtime employees were getting
tired.”

On the north side of the Platt Bridge (Penrose Avenue) there
were mountains and acres of scrap metal and broken automobiles.

South Philly scrap heap moving to Camden
by Linda Loyd, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER, Posted: April 1, 2012
Camden Iron & Metal and its heap of crushed scrap at the foot of
the Platt Memorial Bridge near the airport are moving to Camden,
along with 175 jobs and the promise of 50 hires.
The unsightly junkyard of crushed cars and washing machines that
is synonymous with 26th Street and Penrose Avenue - the gateway
to Philadelphia for millions of visitors - will disappear after
the scrap recycler installs, by the end of this year, a modern
new shredder at Atlantic and Front Streets in Camden.
Now, all the scrap gets crushed in South Philadelphia and
trucked to Camden, where a million tons a year goes out of
Beckett Street Terminal.
After trying since 2005 to consolidate its operations in
Philadelphia - and even buying for $13.2 million the 44-acre
vacant Foamex Industrial Inc. in Eddystone - the company, which
began in Camden in 1929, is going back to its roots.
