The Sutersville Bridge is a structure that crosses the Youghiogheny River between Sutersville and Elizabeth Township, Pennsylvania. It connects a rural southeastern corner of Allegheny County with a small Westmoreland County town.
Previously, a 1902 truss bridge stood on the site. It was replaced by the current bridge in 1986, as part of a major rehabilitation project along Western Pennsylvania's rivers; it shares its construction style with a variety of other bridges assembled during the same era. The Youghiogheny River Trail features a parking facility adjacent to the bridge's western approach.
