The Beaver Bridge is a rail bridge spanning the of 769 feet with 320-foot anchor arms; and a northern Camelback Through Truss of 370 feet. The bridge currently carries two tracks of the CSX railroad. The bridge was designed by Albert Lucius and built by McClintic-Marshall Company of Pittsburgh between March 1908 and May 1910 for the Pittsburgh And Lake Erie Railroad . The bridge is notable in that the railroad proceeded with the cantilever design despite the collapse of the Quebec Cantilever Bridge during construction in 1907. The Beaver bridge replaced a single-track bridge built in 1890, 300 feet downstream from the current bridge's position, which itself replaced an 1878 wrought iron bridge at the same location.
