Fleming Park Bridge, Through truss bridge in Neville Township, United States
Fleming Park Bridge is a through truss bridge spanning the back channel of the Ohio River in Pennsylvania, connecting Neville Island and Stowe Township. The structure carries traffic across the water and serves as a vital crossing point for the surrounding communities.
The bridge was built in 1955, replacing an earlier structure from the 1890s at the same crossing point. A major renovation took place in the late 2010s to address safety concerns about the aging structure.
The bridge transformation in 2019 reflected changing transportation needs by reducing vehicle lanes from four to two and adding dedicated bicycle paths.
The bridge is best accessed via regional roads leading to both shores, with clear signage directing drivers to the crossing. Pedestrians and cyclists using the walkway should watch for vehicle traffic when crossing.
The bridge crosses at an unusual diagonal angle to the river channel rather than perpendicular to it, creating a distinctive engineering solution. This angled alignment allows the span to connect both shores while navigating the geographical constraints of the location.
