Inclined Plane Bridge
Inclined Plane Bridge, Road bridge at Stonycreek River, Johnstown, US
The Inclined Plane Bridge stretches 237 feet across the Stonycreek River using Pennsylvania truss design with wrought iron and steel riveted construction.
Following the devastating flood of 1889, the Cambria Iron Company constructed this bridge to connect the city with a new residential development on Yoder Hill.
The bridge serves as an educational resource for engineering students who study its Pennsylvania truss style and structural components from the late 19th century.
The structure carries State Route 3022 and provides access to the lower station of the Johnstown Inclined Plane, supporting both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
During the 1936 flood, nearly 4,000 people gathered on this bridge to reach the inclined plane, demonstrating its role as an evacuation route.
