Notes
  • Significance: Big Conestoga Creek Bridge No. 12 is a rare combination of cantilever, arch and through-girder forms in reinforced concrete. Lancaster County engineer Frank H. Shaw, designing to meet economic constraints, site conditions, and political pressure, crafted this unusual solution in a short window of opportunity before the advent of state standards for reinforced concrete bridges. Its main span of 62'-5" is flanked by two 31'-0" cantilever arms whose tips do not rest upon the concrete abutments, which probably enclose stone abutments from a previous bridge. Of six similar structures designed by Shaw, this is one of two which remain in the state highway system. This bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
