Wright's Ferry Bridge, River bridge in Columbia, Pennsylvania.
Wright's Ferry Bridge extends across the Susquehanna River with forty-six sections supported by forty-five concrete and steel piers connecting Columbia and Wrightsville.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania commissioned this bridge during the 1960s to redirect US Route 30 and bypass the river towns of Columbia and Wrightsville.
The bridge received its name from the Wright's Ferry settlement of 1726, where John Wright operated a crucial river crossing service for goods and travelers.
Four lanes of divided highway traverse the bridge, providing an essential connection for US Route 30 traffic between Lancaster and York counties.
The bridge underwent a special modification shortly after opening when workers applied an experimental weather-resistant coating to the road surface.
