CSX Susquehanna River Bridge, Railway bridge in Havre de Grace, United States.
Description
The CSX Susquehanna River Bridge is a steel railway crossing over the river between Havre de Grace and Perryville. Its construction uses different steel beam types to handle the heavy loads of multiple daily trains.
History
The current bridge was built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad between 1907 and 1910, replacing an earlier 1886 structure. This reconstruction was needed to support the stronger and heavier locomotives that the expanding railroad required.
Culture
The bridge serves as a vital transportation corridor linking major cities in the Northeast, supporting the daily movement of passengers and freight across the region. Communities on both sides depend on its reliable operation for economic connections.
Practical
The bridge is visible from the river and nearby viewpoints, especially when trains pass through. Your best views come from roads or paths near both riverbanks.
Did you know?
A train accident during construction in 1908 caused a major section to collapse, creating a significant setback for the project. The structure was completed successfully and remains a testament to early engineering capabilities.
