Bridge Information
The Lake Fanny Road Bridge over Winters Run was built in 1913 and was bypassed by the Bel Air Road Bridge in 1930, although both bridges remain open and operational. This bridge is an excellent example of a Luten Arch Bridge, especially since there have been no major alterations other than patching and mortar repair. It still retains the original closed panel type parapet that was typical on rural bridges.
