Susquehanna River Bridge, Road bridge over Susquehanna River near Harrisburg, United States.
The Susquehanna River Bridge is a road bridge spanning the river near Harrisburg that connects Dauphin and York counties. It consists of two parallel concrete structures, each carrying three lanes of interstate highway traffic.
An original steel structure opened in 1950 and used materials from local steel production in the region. In 2007 it was replaced with two separate concrete structures to accommodate growing traffic.
The bridge connects two riverbanks and enables daily movement between communities on either side of the water. People use this crossing regularly to travel for work, errands, or to visit family across the river.
The bridge is part of a toll highway and connects two important regions of the state. Travel during midday hours to avoid congestion, especially during morning and evening rush periods.
The concrete structures built in 2007 represent a distinctive engineering design that was implemented for the first time in this form in Pennsylvania. This configuration provides clear separation of traffic flowing in opposite directions.
