Description 

FROM THE 1996-2001 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORIC BRIDGE SURVEY: The skewed, single span, 31'-long, encased steel stringer bridge is supported on a concrete substructure. The pipe railings have been lost. Concrete encasement was favored in the state because it provided protection for the steel and eliminated the need to periodically paint the beams. Although one of the oldest encased stringers identified in the county, this example lacks integrity because of loss of the railings and numerous concrete patches to the spalled fascia beams. Other equally early but unaltered examples have been identified.
