The historic bridge inventory lists this bridge as simply the Frye Bridge, but the plaque on the bridge clearly says this is the Frye Station Bridge. There must have been a train station around here at one time or something. This six panel Parker pony truss bridge is similar to the seven panel Central Avenue Bridge. The Frye Station Bridge bridge features lattice under the built-up top chord. One of the interesting finds on the bridge was a "Weirton" brand indicating that Weirton Steel produced the materials on this bridge. Weirton is a rare name to find on bridge steel.
Information and Findings From Pennsylvania's Historic Bridge InventoryDiscussion of Bridge The single-span, 82'-long and 25' wide steel Parker pony truss bridge is supported on reinforced concrete abutments. A sidewalk with a riveted steel railing is cantilevered off one side of the truss. The bridge was built to a frequently used state standard design in 1935, and it has no innovative or distinctive details. Rolled section was used for web members starting in the late 1920s. Neither the bridge nor its setting are historically or technologically significant. Safety shape barriers have been placed inside the truss lines. Discussion of Surrounding Area The bridge carries a two-lane road and a sidewalk over a stream at a T intersection with SR 2023 in Frye, a mining town. The area is dominated by a mix of highly altered late-19th and 20th century houses and commercial buildings. A non-descript ca. 1900 vernacular commercial building is north of the intersection and the bridge. The main part of Frye is well southwest of the bridge. The setting does not have consistency or cohesiveness to be a potential historic district. Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: No |
