The Safe Harbor Trestle also known as the Safe Harbor Bridge, Port Road Bridge and the Enola Low Grade Line (A&S Railroad) Steel Trestle is a steel deck truss trestle that spans the Conestoga River at Safe Harbor, Pennsylvania near the Susquehanna River for the Port Road Branch and the former Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad along the Susquehanna River. It was built in 1905 for the Atglen and Susquehanna Branch (A&S), also known as the "Low Grade Branch", of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR).
There are two more bridges at this site, the bottom bridge, Port Road Bridge, carries the Norfolk Southern Railway, and Safe Harbor Dam access road Bridge, (on the left) carries authorized vehicle service for the Safe Harbor Dam.
The lower span was raised 4 feet (1.2 m) in 1930, concurrent with the construction of the Safe Harbor Dam. In 1976 the PRR lines became part of Conrail, which abandoned the A&S branch in 1989. The tracks were removed from the upper bridge in 1990.
