Foxburg Bridge, Railway and truss bridge in Foxburg, Pennsylvania, United States
The Foxburg Bridge spans across the Allegheny River with three sections supported by two piers, featuring a steel truss construction for rail and vehicle traffic.
The Bethlehem Steel Bridge Corporation completed the construction of this double-deck steel bridge in 1921, replacing an earlier wooden Howe truss structure.
The bridge represented a major connection point between Armstrong County and Clarion County, supporting the regional transportation network for both trains and vehicles.
The structure maintained separate levels for different transportation modes, with the upper deck designated for railway operations and the lower level for road vehicles.
The bridge demolition in 2008 was documented by the Discovery Channel program The Detonators, showing the controlled collapse using strategic explosive charges.
