1963 PA-51 Bridge

 |
| HistoricBridges_1963 The bridge is 993' (303m) long with a main span of 365' (111m). "This bridge is a good example of a deck cantilever truss bridge....The bridge includes a 236.5 foot suspended span. The suspended span follows a modified Warren truss configuration, while Pratt truss thinking is evident in the remaining truss system." For once, PennDOT chose to extensively rehabilitate a truss bridge rather than replace it. |

"According to my brother-in-law, Wes, a structural engineer, this bridge is the heaviest bridge per foot of length in the world!" [Garry Sallade comment on ArchivedBridgeHunter]

| Climbing Skies posted Looking up at some of the bridges spanning the Beaver River near the confluence with the Ohio River in Beaver County, PA. Bob Couch: I once heard that the furthest bridge was constructed to resemble a beaver. (head, body, tail) Climbing Skies: Bob Couch Yes you can see it in this image. The head is by Rochester and the longer tail is by Bridgewater. |
