    They constructed this bridge in 1855, and it underwent renovations in 1939 and 2000. It stands as the solitary remaining covered bridge within a major U.S. city, and is one of five surviving Howe-truss bridges in Pennsylvania. The Howe-truss design, characterized by a series of triangles that enhance bridge strength and stability, is a defining feature.
