This bridge is a small but unaltered example of Chester County's unusual stone arches with brick arch rings. The bridge is listed as a publically owned bridge, but apparently a local private farm cared enough for bridge that they paid PennDOT to preserve the bridge, rather than allow politics as usual and broken federal bridge funding systems to let the bridge's maintenance and repair be deferred, which results in structure deterioration.
Information and Findings From Pennsylvania's Historic Bridge InventoryDiscussion of Bridge The one-span, 27'-long brick arch bridge with stone spandrels and parapets is listed in the National Register. The bridge was built in 1904 by P. J. McCormick & Son. In 1986, the privately owned Redding Furnace Farm under agreement with PennDOT paid to have the arch repointed and acid washed.

The bridge is on the Redding Furnace Farm which was listed in the National Register on 7/30/1987. The farm is listed separately from the bridge. Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: Yes |
