Pine Creek Bridge
Posted June 5, 2009, by Anonymous

This bridge was a beautiful example of warren style lenticular through truss. It has been taken down in an attempte to repair it -- Deterioration was worse than thought. Write to Penn DOT to make sure they make the repairs and get the bridge back up. This Lenticular bridge is only one of about 50 or so left in the county and it may be the largest/longest surviving Lenticular truss made by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company.
