Stone Bridge, Railway bridge in Johnstown, United States
The Stone Bridge spans the Conemaugh River with seven rock arches, stretching 428 feet long and accommodating four railway tracks on the Norfolk Southern Railway line.
Built between 1887 and 1888 by the Pennsylvania Railroad, this structure withstood the devastating Johnstown Flood of 1889, though debris accumulation caused significant damage.
The bridge lighting program changes colors monthly to recognize different causes, from pancreatic cancer awareness to veterans' celebrations, connecting the community through visual displays.
The Norfolk Southern Railway maintains this active transportation route, which underwent restoration in 2008 to improve its appearance through cleaning and surface enhancement.
Engineers chose stone construction during a period when iron and steel dominated bridge design, creating one of the few remaining skewed stone arch bridges.
