The Selinsgrove Bridge is a railroad bridge that carries Norfolk Southern lines across the Susquehanna River between Lower Augusta Township, Pennsylvania and Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. The bridge once carried Pennsylvania Railroad and later Penn Central Railroad lines across the river. The bridge crosses over Cherry and Fishers Islands. Many of its wrought iron Pratt through truss spans date to 1888, with significant alterations in 1901, 1925 and 1930.
