Information and Findings From Pennsylvania's Historic Bridge InventoryDiscussion of Bridge The 1919, skewed, reinforced concrete deck arch bridge has 2 rail high welded pipe railings with concrete end posts. The bridge has concrete wingwalls and at the bridge's southeast quandrant is a concrete retaining wall. The bridge is an example of a common type used with great frequency since the early 20th century, with no innovative or distinguishing details. Earlier, more signficant examples of the bridge type can be found in the survey population. Discussion of Surrounding Area The bridge carries 1 lane of a township road over a stream in a rural area of active farms just east of the intersection of TR 489 and SR 218. There are a number of farmsteads visible in the area, including one late 19th century brick farmhouse. The area does not appear to have rural historic district potential.
