Description 

Reading RR bridge abandoned by Reading RR in 1976 upon formation of Conrail. Bridge was adapted for an expansion of the Robbins bike trail over the abandoned right-of-way in 2002, and a roof added shortly thereafter. Pier and abutments obviously built up from an earlier bridge; a pavilion extends from the bridge over the pier to allow views of the creek.
