This bridge is a rare example of a state standard plan Parker truss in Pennsylvania that has a noteworthy skew to it. Many of Pennsylvania's state standard plan through truss bridges have a skew to them, but most are Pratt trusses, not Parker trusses. It is not known why this is the case, but regardless, it makes this bridge stand out as unusual. The bridge's skew angle is 38 degrees.
Information and Findings From Pennsylvania's Historic Bridge InventoryDiscussion of Bridge The skewed, 3-span, 369'-long bridge is composed of a riveted, 257'-long steel Parker truss main span and stringer approach spans. It is supported on a concrete substructure. The bridge was built to a state design in 1932, and the trusses are traditionally composed with built up box section end posts and chords. The diagonal members are built up. Metal railings are used inside the truss line and on the cantilevered sidewalk. The portal braces are massive because of the extreme skew of the bridge. The bridge has no innovative or distinctive details, and it is typical of the department's designs of the period. Neither the bridge nor its setting is historically or technologically significant. Discussion of Surrounding Area The bridge carries a two-lane road and a cantilevered sidewalk over the Mahoning River in a wooded setting. Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: No |
