Carl E. Stotz Memorial Little League Bridge

The Carl E. Stotz Memorial Little League Bridge is a road crossing over the West Branch Susquehanna River between Williamsport and South Williamsport. The structure includes pedestrian paths on both sides and features modern concrete construction that spans the two riverbanks.

The current crossing was built in 2007 and represents the seventh bridge structure at this location since a wooden covered bridge was first constructed there in 1849. This long succession of crossings shows how this river connection has remained important for over 150 years.

The bridge is named after Carl E. Stotz, who founded Little League Baseball in Williamsport during 1939. This naming reflects how deeply the city's identity is tied to youth baseball and its role in the community.

The crossing carries US Route 15 and handles significant daily traffic, making it straightforward to locate and access. Pedestrians should use the designated walkways on both sides and remain aware of vehicle traffic when crossing the bridge.

Nearby streets feature planned negative relief sculptures that depict local history and the heritage of the Pennsylvania region. These art elements provide visitors with a visual connection to the cultural past of the place.
