This bridge is an example of a style of overpass that Pennsylvania used that was a tall concrete arch that produced a tunnel-like appearance for those passing under the highway they carried. Outside of Pennsylvania, it is a somewhat unusual design for an overpass, likely because the shape of the arch limits the clearance for vehicles at the edges of the roadway.
