This bridge is a t-beam that was originally built in 1921. In 1946 it was widened. The technology of the t-beam really would not have changed between these years, and the widening required replacement of the original railings. As such, despite the fact that the bridge has some 1921 beams, the bridge would be better evaluated as a 1946 t-beam bridge. As such, this bridge can be said to be a representative example of a typical 1940s t-beam bridge in Pennsylvania. The bridge displays state standard balustrade railings. Pennsylvania had a number of state standard railing designs. Among the balustrade railings like that seen on this bridge, there seems to have two different railing heights. This bridge displays the taller railing design.

Discussion of Surrounding Area The bridge carries US 6, a 2 lane federal highway, over a stream in the borough of Smethport, a rural town dominated by a mix of 20th century residential and commercial structures.
