Read an article about this bridge in today's local paper.During the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 the previous bridge i'm assuming that was here was burned by rioters.At that time the bridge was called the Lebanon Valley Railroad Bridge which i'm also assuming was wooden due to it being burned down.It was a 5 span bridge of which 641 feet was ruined.The piers did remain standing.Original cost to build this bridge was $150,000.If anybody can add any information about this bridge or the previous bridge i would be interested in that.
