Vanport Bridge, Truss bridge in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States
The Vanport Bridge extends across the Ohio River with four lanes, connecting the communities of Vanport and Potter townships through Interstate 376.
The bridge opened in December 1968 as part of the Beaver Valley Expressway project, costing over 10 million dollars to construct.
The construction of the bridge required the demolition of numerous homes in Vanport Township, changing the local community landscape permanently.
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation maintains the bridge structure, which serves approximately 30,000 vehicles daily across the Ohio River.
In 1990, the bridge underwent closure after inspectors discovered fourteen cracks in the welds, ranging from seven to thirty-four inches long.
