    Fleming Park Bridge

    The Fleming Park Bridge is a through truss bridge which spans the back channel of the Ohio River, between Neville Island and Stowe Township, PA. Although the Ohio River's back channel is only 590 feet wide, roughly 660 feet of this newer bridge was erected over water due to the unique 65-degree angle of the structure's trajectory. The bridge was closed for 11 months between 2018 and 2019 in order to complete a $13 million rehabilitation project.
