It is always nice to see when a community decides to not let a truss bridge rot away.
Metrotrails posted two photos with the comment:
Then and Now Series: Historic Mott Street Bridge in Milford Pennsylvania built in 1902-03 by the Penn Bridge Company. Both scenes are taken on our hikes, a decade apart in 2013 and 2023.The Pratt Through Truss bridge carried vehicular traffic until 1988, when it was deemed unsafe for all but pedestrian traffic. It remained open to pedestrians until 2006, when even that was closed.The forlorn old bridge continued to be used anyway, as the chain link fences kept getting cut.It was decided that the bridge should be preserved, and serve as a safe pedestrian gateway to the trails in Milford Glen and the Cliff Park section of Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. It reopened in early 2020.
Tom Bohner: Very cool!! Where exactly is it??
