Notes
  • Significance: It was constructed on the site of the first publicly funded bridge in Adams County (then part of York County). A series of structures at this location have aided commercial development, giving access to major market roads. The 1917-18 reinforced concrete bore the Lincoln Highway and was designed by Charles A. Williams, a local engineer who placed his distinctive imprint on bridges throughout York and Adams counties. Alterations by the Pennsylvania Department of Highways in 1929 reflect the state's growing role in highway maintenance.
