Shippingport Bridge, Cantilever bridge in Beaver County, United States.
The Shippingport Bridge extends across the Ohio River with a cantilever design, connecting the towns of Shippingport and Industry in Pennsylvania.
The bridge replaced Cooks Ferry service in 1964, providing a permanent crossing point that served as a temporary detour for US Route 30 between 1969 and 1977.
The structure represents an engineering achievement that transformed local transportation patterns and connected previously isolated communities along the Ohio River banks.
Pennsylvania Route 168 crosses the bridge with two traffic lanes, while the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation maintains the structure for daily vehicle passage.
The southern approach of the bridge stands next to the Beaver Valley Nuclear Power Station, creating an industrial transportation corridor in the region.
