Description
FROM THE 1996-2001 PENNSYLVANIA HISTORIC BRIDGE SURVEY:
The single span, 153'-long, double intersection Pratt thru truss bridge built in 1884 by the Wrought Iron Bridge Co. is listed in the National Register (6/22/88). There have been no significant changes in the bridge's status since the previous survey. Some alterations were noted but they appear to predate 1988. The bridge has welded splices at the counters, impact damage to at least one vertical, and cover plate welded to the flanges of the floorbeams.

I also noted that the company that designed the replacement bridge... and who likely conducted the rehabilitation feasibility analysis for the historic bridge during Section 106... has absolutely no experience rehabilitating historic metal truss bridges, based on their portfolio. Hiring firms that lack a deep and varied portfolio of successfully rehabilitating historic metal truss bridges to conduct rehabilitation feasibility analysis for metal truss bridges has been a repeating problem in Pennsylvania.
