Parker Bridge, Truss bridge in Parker, Pennsylvania, United States
The Parker Bridge extends 1,140 feet across the Allegheny River with a width of 24.9 feet and three supporting piers in the water.
The steel truss bridge opened in 1934, representing engineering developments during a period when metal structures replaced wooden transportation infrastructure.
The bridge incorporates the Parker truss design, named after Charles H. Parker, characterized by a polygonal upper chord and triangular load distribution.
Pennsylvania Route 368 crosses the bridge, which accommodates both motor vehicles and pedestrians connecting the communities around the Allegheny River.
The structure contains geometric patterns of interconnected triangles that distribute forces effectively while minimizing the amount of construction materials needed.
