The Kiski Junction Bridge has a long history, dating back to its original construction in 1899. After many years of work by Armstrong Trails and the Rachel Carson Trails Conservancy and funding from PennDOT and DCNR, the bridge was opened to pedestrian and bike traffic in 2024.
There is still work to be done to connect the south side of the bridge to the southern terminus of the Baker Trail and onward to the Tredway and Rachel Carson Trails that continue southward towards Pittsburgh.
