Description 

FROM THE 1996-2001 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORIC BRIDGE SURVEY: The 1-span, 24'-long, reinforced concrete slab bridge built in 1934 with standard concrete balustrades is supported on ashlar abutments with concrete caps. It is an example of a common type and design with no innovative or distinguishing details. The bridge is located in Dry Run in a setting that has historic district potential. The bridge was built as a replacement structure for a previous narrower bridge. Built as a standard state highway department improvement, it is similar to hundreds of others throughout the state. The 1934 bridge postdates Dry Run's significant 19th century period of development. It is not historically associated with the potential district's historic themes or areas of significance. It would not be a noncontributing resource.

Photos of other Dry Run Bridge removed. Thank you for clarifying.

The photos and map coordinates both point to a different bridge a short distance south of the concrete slab. Based on the BMS number, this page refers to a bridge located here: 40.17120 -77.75315 I checked this on the PennDOT Video Log. See below image.

To set everything right, the images of the stone arch bridge need to be moved to a different page, and the map for this concrete slab needs to be set to the above listed coordinates.

There might be a mismatch between the description and the bridge in the photos. I don't see ashlar abutments with concrete caps or concrete bastulades.
