The low bridge over the Youghiogheny River in Ohiopyle, PA carries bikers and hikers from Ferncliff Peninsula into the village of Ohiopyle. Just downstream of the bridge is Ohiopyle Falls. The bridge was designed specifically for trail use. It replaces a larger bridge that carried the Western Maryland Railway. The WMdRwy was abandoned in 1975, and one section of the span was removed to ease a bottleneck on Rt 381 through Ohiopyle. When the Great Allegheny Passage bike trail was being built a complete span was necessary to avoid using highways for the trail. A new bridge was designed and built. The new span, seen here, was completed in 2000. |
