Kudos to PennDOT for maintaining a truss bridge.

| BridgeHunter The span is 311' (95m) long. The bridge was built in 1933 and rehabilitated in 1988. |
Some comments indicate that the water was as high as the roof at Niki's. If the store was down by the stop light, I could easily believe it. But this store is up on a hill.

The steel mill has a couple of contour lines between it and the river so hopefully the river level didn't reach it. It also shows that North Vandergrift is in a flood plain.

In fact, this view shows that the mill is on a bluff. The bridge in the left background is the subject of these notes.
