Waterville Bridge, Historical bridge in Swatara State Park, Pennsylvania, US
The Waterville Bridge spans across Swatara Creek, featuring a lenticular truss design built by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company in 1890.
The bridge was relocated from its original location in Lycoming County to Swatara State Park in 1985, securing its registration in the National Historic Places in 1988.
The bridge serves as a crossing point along the Appalachian Trail, connecting hikers to multiple sections of the extensive walking path network.
The Department of Transportation maintains this less-than-one-acre structure, which remains accessible to pedestrians within Swatara State Park throughout the year.
The bridge demonstrates the engineering capabilities of the late 19th century through its lenticular truss architecture, a specific design choice for that period.
