Branch Rock Creek Bridge
Description
FROM THE 1996-2001 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORIC BRIDGE SURVEY:
'The 2 span, 59'-long, reinforced concrete deck arch bridge built in 1919 by the county has concrete parapets and paneled spandrel walls and wingwalls. Spalling is extensive with exposed twisted reinforcing bars in the arch rings, spandrel walls, and parapets. The parapets, spandrels, and intrados have a heavy coating of shotcrete, which is scabbing off in places. The bridge has significant loss of original fabric. The reinforced concrete arch bridge technology was introduced in Pennsylvania about 1900 and it was ubiquitous by the 1910s. More than 270 pre-1920 examples have been identified. This altered example is not historically or technologically distinguished by its setting or context.
