Emlenton Bridge, Road bridge in Pennsylvania, United States
The Emlenton Bridge spans the Allegheny River with a steel-deck truss structure measuring 1,668 feet in length and 270 feet in height.
Upon its completion in 1968, the Emlenton Bridge stood as the highest bridge in the Interstate Highway System until the Fred G. Redmon Bridge opened in 1971.
The bridge connects three Pennsylvania counties - Venango, Clarion, and Butler - representing a physical link between different local communities along Interstate 80.
The structure accommodates four lanes of traffic on Interstate 80, serving as a vital transportation route across the Allegheny River for both local and interstate travelers.
The engineering team behind the bridge included collaboration with notable bridge engineer Ralph Modjeski, while Brodhead Construction from Aliquippa executed the construction.
