View Information About HSR Ratings
This bridge is a traditionally composed pin-connected truss bridge. The bridge has suffered from a loss of historic integrity, since it has been altered with welded additions at the connection points and some other areas of the bridge, and railings on one of the two trusses have been replaced with welded v-laced railing. The bridge is however noteworthy as a surviving example of a York Bridge Company bridge. The side of the truss that has not had its railings replaced still displays the unique gridded railing design that the York Bridge Company used on its bridges.
Information and Findings From Pennsylvania's Historic Bridge InventoryDiscussion of Bridge The one span, 77' long and 16.5' wide, pin-connected, Pratt pony truss is supported on ashlar abutments with concrete seats. The trusses are traditionally composed with the upper chords and inclined end posts being built up box sections. Eye bars are used for the lower chords and diagonals. Verticals are laced angles, and the floorbeams are rolled I beams. The bridge was fabricated in 1905 by the York Bridge Co., a small regional bridge building firm. Alterations include plates that have been welded to the pins and floorbeams and the welding of rods to some the eye bar heads for apparent strengthening. The bridge has no innovative or distinctive details, and it is a late example of a regionally common technology. Neither the altered bridge nor its setting are historically or technologically significant. Discussion of Surrounding Area The bridge carries an unimproved 1 lane township road on a shallow reverse curve over a stream in a sparsely developed, wooded setting.
