Scioto Pennsylvania Through Truss Bridge, Spanning Scioto River at State Route 73, Portsmouth, Scioto County, OH

Significance: This bridge was for many years the only highway bridge across the Scioto River in Scioto County. It thus provided a vital road link in addition to crating a bridge for the Portsmouth Street Railway and telephone lines for the Portsmouth Telephone Company. It has been selected as an historic bridge by the Ohio Department of Transportation. It is scheduled to be replaced by 1991, and federal highway funds have been requested for its replacements.
