Hares Hill Road Bridge
Hares Hill Road Bridge, Tied-arch bridge in Kimberton, United States
The Hares Hill Road Bridge spans French Creek with a single wrought iron lattice girder design measuring 103 feet in length and 14 feet in width.
Constructed in 1867 and opened in 1869, this bridge represents one of the first iron bridges built in Chester County during the post-Civil War infrastructure expansion.
The bridge design reflects Thomas W. H. Moseley's engineering innovation, making it the only surviving example of his wrought iron lattice girder bridge technology.
The bridge underwent rehabilitation in 2009 and 2010 to improve load capacity, receiving new steel decking that accommodates both vehicles and bicycles.
This single-lane structure remains the sole iron highway bridge from its era still serving public transportation needs in Chester County.
