Description

Deck truss bridge built over flooded Kinzua Creek, to carry PA 59 over Allegheny Reservoir which was created by Kinzua Dam. Longest bridge in Warren County. Named after Cornplanter, a Seneca war chief and diplomat. Later renamed in 1978 for James Morrison, the first permanent settler in Kinzua Township, though the Cornplanter name is still commonly used.
