Suspension Bridges Crossing Savage River

This is a list of all 3 bridges from the suspension bridge inventory crossing Savage River. Please note that different rivers with the same name will be grouped together. For example, selecting 'Bear Creek' shows bridges across several different Bear Creeks. Also, similarly named rivers are grouped separately.

Notes:

  • One of two similar bridges in this park. This one has a plaque "Allegany Bridge."
  • Al Schweizer, the operations officer for the project, wrote: "The bridge panels (that portion between the vertical suspender cables attached to the main cables) were prefabricated with deck beams, decking, sway braces, handrails. They were trolleyed across the river since we were not allowed to get into the river. The bridges were erected by Company B from Cumberland, Maryland and Company C from Oakland, Maryland. The erection, to include the forming and pouring of the deadmen cable supports, abutments, towers, cable installation (2” diameter) and all the decking took just two weeks! DNR added the lattice because of children crawling on the bridge."
  • Built as part of same project as (footbridge) - Luke vicinity, Maryland, USA.
