Layton Bridge, Railway bridge in Layton, Pennsylvania, US
Description
Layton Bridge is a railway crossing over the Youghiogheny River built with a steel Pratt truss design. The structure spans between Layton Road and connects two communities on opposite banks.
History
Construction began in 1893 by the A.P. Roberts Construction Company and was completed around 1899 for the Washington Run Railroad. After 1933, the bridge was converted to handle automobile traffic.
Culture
The bridge structure appears in multiple film productions, including the television series Justified and the film The Silence of the Lambs.
Practical
The bridge functions as a single-lane roadway that can be crossed on foot or by car. Visitors should note that the crossing is narrow with limited visibility in both directions.
Did you know?
Immediately at the western end of the bridge, a 208-foot-long tunnel begins right where the structure ends. This unusual pairing of bridge and tunnel creates a striking visual feature during the crossing.
