Erie Canal overview
"This bridge is a less common Pennsylvania though truss variety of fixed truss bridge built over the Erie Canal." [HistoricBridges]
I found this bridge while looking for the bridge in the video below. It appears to be a one-lane bridge.

"Single span, ten panel, steel Parker truss." The truss was finished in 1910, but the approach spans and deck were not completed until 1916. [HAER_data]
When I moved closer to the bridge, Google Maps switched to a view that is 10 years older than the above view. It is nice to see that New York did an extensive rehabilitation of this bridge.

I went to the other side to confirm that it can now handle a lot more than 3 tons.
