Information and Findings From Pennsylvania's Historic Bridge Inventory

Discussion of Bridge

The 2-span, 175' long, riveted Warren with verticals and polygonal upper chords pony truss bridge was fabricated in 1917. It is supported on an ashlar cutwater pier and abutments with flared wingwalls, and the wingwalls are topped with reticulated-pattern balustrades. The trusses are traditionally composed and have no innovative or distinctive features. The outriggers are original. The bridge is complete, but it is not an early example of its type/design, which was common throughout the state by 1910. Neither the bridge nor its setting are historically or technologically significant.

Discussion of Surrounding Area

The bridge carries one lane of a township road over a stream in a sparsely developed, forested and agricultural setting that also has scattered modern houses. There are tilled fields in the flood plain on both sides of the river.
