Port Deposit Bridge, Historic bridge crossing in Port Deposit, Maryland, US.
The Port Deposit Bridge stretched 4,170 feet across the Susquehanna River with eighteen spans, each measuring 200 feet in length.
Constructed between 1817 and 1818, the bridge represented Theodore Burr's final Susquehanna crossing project and incorporated his signature arch truss design.
The bridge toll house served multiple functions, providing travelers with meals and floor space for overnight stays while collecting fees for crossing.
Visible remains of the bridge abutments along the western shore of the Susquehanna River can be viewed from Susquehanna State Park.
The bridge met its end through a series of events, including fire damage from a sleigh spark, collapse under cattle weight, and destruction by spring floods.
