This bridge was the last Parker truss in Fayette County and also the last state standard plan truss bridge in Fayette County. This was not enough to keep the bridge from being demolished and replaced by PennDOT, however. The bridge's historic significance as a rare surviving example of an earlier state standard plan truss in Pennsylvania was not acknowledged by the historic bridge inventory. Few examples of this earlier standard plan remain anywhere in Pennsylvania.
Information and Findings From Pennsylvania's Historic Bridge InventoryDiscussion of Bridge The 156' long and 24' wide riveted Parker thru truss bridge built in 1930 is supported on concrete abutments with wingwalls. The trusses are traditionally composed with built up box section for the upper chords and end posts. The web members are rolled section, and the lower chords are channels connected by battens. The bridge has no innovative or distinctive details, and its span length is not unusual. It is an example of a state standard design that was used with great frequency in the 1930s. Neither the bridge nor its setting are historically or technologically significant. Discussion of Surrounding Area The bridge carries a 2 lane road over a stream in a sparsely developed, forested setting. Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: No |
