Genesee Arch Bridge, Steel arch railway bridge in Letchworth State Park, New York, United States.
The Genesee Arch Bridge spans 480 meters across the Genesee River, featuring a steel arch design that supports Norfolk Southern Railway traffic.
The current bridge, opened in 2017, replaced an iron structure from 1875, which had succeeded the original wooden bridge constructed in 1852.
Engineers and railway enthusiasts regularly visit this location to observe the integration of modern engineering with the natural surroundings of Letchworth State Park.
The bridge carries the Southern Tier Line of Norfolk Southern Railway, enabling commercial and passenger trains to cross the Genesee River at this location.
The construction team had to maintain railway operations on the old iron bridge while building the new structure 75 feet to the south.
