TR 326 over North Branch Towanda Creek

            County Bridge Number 14 is a one span, pin connected Pratt pony truss bridge.  It is 71’ long and supported on concrete abutments.  The bridge was built in 1894 by the Groton Bridge Company, and underwent rehabilitation in 1966.  An open grid deck was placed at the time of the rehabilitation.  Suspenders connect the rolled floorbeams to the lower panel point pins.  The upper chords and inclined end posts are built up box sections, the verticals are back to back angles with lattice webs, and the lower chords and diagonals are eye bars.  This bridge has been determined to be not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places.
