The 1836 Williamsport Bridge was a wooden structure that served Monongahela while the town was operating under its original name. After this bridge was consumed in a fire, a four-frame truss bridge was constructed in 1884. This was soon replaced by a three-frame bridge in 1910, which stood until the erection of the current structure in 1990.
The result of the construction was a 10-foot (3.0 m) wide, double-span bridge that was 495 feet (151 m) long but which had no underlying span support. The bridge stood 25 feet (7.6 m) above the waters of the Delaware to avoid flooding, and cost a total of $9,000 (1856 USD ($305,200 in 2024). [1]
