HistoricBridges "This is a very impressive Parker through truss with a pony truss approach span. The Rochester-Bridgewater Bridge has excellent historic integrity with no noteworthy alterations. This bridge's unusual span arrangement from east to west consists of a short through truss span, long through truss span, and pony truss span. Local urban legend apparently claims that this design was to make the bridge look like the shape of a beaver, since it crosses the Beaver River. This is likely just a tale. The design of each span is a result of what the bridge is crossing which includes both the Beaver River and a railroad." Nathan goes on to explain that these trusses are examples of Pennsylvania's standard plans for short, medium and long trusses. |
