Conowingo Bridge, Road bridge near Conowingo, Maryland, United States.
The Conowingo Bridge connects Cecil and Harford counties across the Susquehanna River with steel construction and vehicle lanes in both directions.
The initial wooden covered bridge, designed by Louis Wernwag in 1820, stretched 1,334 feet across the Susquehanna River before a flood destroyed it in 1846.
During the Civil War, Federal troops maintained control of the bridge as it represented the sole crossing point over the lower Susquehanna River.
The bridge operation transferred to state ownership in 1911 when Maryland authorities purchased the structure and eliminated all toll collection requirements.
The original bridge structure now rests at the bottom of the Susquehanna River, submerged during the construction of the Conowingo Dam in 1928.
