At one time this used to be a nice bridge.. they kept it painted.. looks like it hasn't been painted since i was a child... also at one time u had to pay to cross this bridge .. used to be a booth at the other end u paid a quarter to cross it..this is a great picture.. really shows how old it is.. From what i read up.. this is one of 3 bridges like this in Pa. this one is the oldest..

Iremember this vey well. As a kid, we called this "the singing bridge" because of the metal decking.
|

The piers for the new replacement bridge have been poured on the south side of the old bridge and some of the steel decking is now being set in place. I was over that way last week but it was a bit too cold to get out and take a few pictures.

I'm just south of Carmichaels. I grew up here and have spent about 90% of my life in the area. Over the years I have gotten to know quite a few people in Greene, Fayette, and Westmoreland counties. |

Hey Guy's Im from Point Marion, our family lived on a small farm just across the river from Point marion. I remember when the bridge had a tool booth and I believe it cost 5 cents to walk across and 25 cents to drive.

I remember the tool booth as well. My dads family lived a couple of blocks away on Water Street. And my moms family lived on Mckinley Hill, where I lived.

I remember walking across this bridge from the Greene county side, we lived on the old Kovach property just above the Lock and damn, my brother and I walked into Point Marion to visit my Aunt Marge Kovach, she worked at Hunkers drug store behind the soda fountain, wow brings back good memories.

Joe,
I grew up on Walnut Hill. I live in Baltimore now for the last 27 years. Hunkers Drug Store brings back more memories. I ALSO remember your property. |

I grew up in Pt. Marion too. You can see the news videos of this great old bridge being imploded at KDKA's website. Shame these older bridges aren't being preserved- this one was so visually interesting. Crossed this lots of summers on the way to MonView to swim!

I went to Mon View a lot as well. We had our family reunions there for many years. Sure going to mis the bridge, but, I also miss the old, rickety Cheat River bridge too. I'll have to get home and see the new bridge.
