Notes
  • Significance: The bridge, an early, large-scale reinforced concrete structure, is a significant example of its type because of several unusual details. Its closed-spandrel arches are rife with expansion joints and steel reinforcement, perhaps indicating conservative experimentation with a new structural material. The original railing and decorative features remain intact.
  • Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N587
  • Survey number: HAER PA-513
  • Building/structure dates: 1911-1913 Initial Construction
