A ferry was being used between South Pittsburg and New Hope until this bridge opened in 1981. The two lanes with wide shoulders see 4,170 vehicles per day (2017). The navigation span is 750' long. [Bridge Hunter] Since this is a rather early tied-arch bridge construction, I wonder if it was built along the shore and then floated into its place as is done today.
This was the post that motivated me to research this bridge.

This bridge has an exceptional amount of bracing between the two arch ribs.
Hello. Not related to this post, but I found an interesting Chicago Map site. Just wanted to make sure you know about.

I wish it would expand the viewing window to use the space in the containing window. But something is better than nothing.
I just discovered "toggle full page!" I'm like a kid in a candy shop.
