While the crossing may date to the 1880s, I would say the bridge seen today dates to between 1910 and 1920. It appears to be a concrete arch, and such a bridge would not have been built in the 1880s. The only exception would be if it were a stone arch that was later encased in concrete. However based on the unusual shape of the bridge this seems unlikely. A similar bridge dates to 1919 and is found here: http://www.bridgehunter.com/pa/york/667209063330320/
Clark Vance The alternate name comes from the local bar, Nathan Holth your right after researching it yesterday I learned this bridge was built sometime between 1884 and 1885 on Biesecker road and was intended as a horse and buggy style crossing for hauling by local farmers. I can't find much more then a date and purpose however, so I used Google maps for length approximation. Jodi Christman your right....been looking around back home in Ohio to add bridges here that I know haven't been added.
Looks like one of York County's really weird concrete arch bridges. But it should be newer than 1850.
Nice hunting. How did you get the date and alternate name? I hope the owner is in when you go by again....
Awesome find Daniel! You gotta love when you stumble across a treasure like this.
Well I will have to see if I can get closer to the bridge then to see the date on plate / impression.
