Vanport Bridge, Truss bridge in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, United States
Vanport Bridge is a steel truss structure spanning the Ohio River and carrying Interstate 376 traffic. It connects Vanport and Potter townships with four lanes for through traffic.
The bridge opened in 1968 as part of the Beaver Valley Expressway project, becoming a key link in regional transportation. The project significantly altered local infrastructure patterns.
The construction of the bridge required the demolition of numerous homes in Vanport Township, changing the local community landscape permanently.
The bridge handles substantial daily traffic and serves as a major commute route for the region. Visitors should expect significant congestion during peak travel hours.
In 1990, inspectors discovered cracks in the welds of the structure, prompting a closure for repairs. This finding demonstrated the importance of regular monitoring for aging steel structures.
