Allegheny Aqueduct, Stone aqueduct in Robeson Township, United States
The Allegheny Aqueduct extends 260 feet in length and 70 feet in width, featuring five red sandstone arches that span across Allegheny Creek.
Built in 1824 by the Schuylkill Navigation Company under Engineer Ephriam Beech, this structure enabled canal boats to cross Allegheny Creek during Pennsylvania's canal transportation era.
The aqueduct stands as a testament to early American engineering methods, demonstrating the innovations required for expanding transportation networks in the 19th century.
Located at the intersection of Pennsylvania Route 724 and Allegheny Creek, the site offers walking paths and educational panels explaining its construction methods.
Metal spikes protrude from the concrete liner added in 1870, which originally secured timber planking to protect canal boats passing through the structure.
