Description

The bridge, a through truss, was built in 1955. It spans the back channel of the Ohio River, between Neville Island and Stowe Township, PA. The structure replaced an 1894 girder bridge that stood on the same property. Although the back channel of the Ohio River is only 590 feet wide, about 660 feet of bridge travel over water, because of the unique 65 degree angle of the structure's trajectory.
