West Hickory Bridge

The West Hickory Bridge is a girder bridge that carries Pennsylvania Route 127 across the Allegheny River in rural Forest County, Pennsylvania. Spanning the river between Harmony Township, [Forest County, Pennsylvania|Harmony Township] and Hickory Township, [Forest County, Pennsylvania|Hickory Township], it is named for the village of West Hickory.
This 2007 bridge replaced an 1896 one-lane truss bridge, which was designed for non-motorized traffic. It was a multiple span, Pratt truss bridge built by the Groton Bridge Company and measured 695 feet, 6 inches, in length. The old bridge was added to the National [Register of Historic Places] in 1988. Despite the low use of the bridge, it was considered to be in need of replacement.
