History and architectural features

[edit]

This historic structure was built by the Pennsylvania Railroad between 1848 and 1850, and was in use until 1892, when the main line was relocated onto the former Pennsylvania Canal bed.[2] A second stone arch bridge was constructed nearby for the new alignment.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
