Notes
  • Significance: Fires and floods during the early days of the oil industry promoted the frequent replacement of the bridge. The most recent, a tied plate-girder through arch designed by Crawford County Engineer Karl A. Miller, and its twin in Oil City, Venango County, are examples of bridge building at the twilight of riveted steel superstructure design and the local efforts of a gifted engineer.
