The Pratt pony truss was built in 1913 by the York Bridge Company, located in York, Pennsylvania. 1 Over the years, it underwent several structural updates in 1977 and 1985, at which point the floor beams and stringers were replaced. In 2017, this bridge was decommissioned and a new bridge was constructed to replace it. The new structure, a Warren pony truss, was erected by the U.S. Bridge Company.
