Oneonta Bridge
US 30
Built: 1948
"The beginning of the end: construction of the 'new' bridge at Oneonta Creek in 1948, one of many projects to make the old highway straighter and faster. Both this bridge, and the original Lancaster bridge to the right, still survive today."

This reinforced-concrete deck girder span is 48 feet long and was constructed on abutments from a previous railroad bridge. The span bypassed the 1914 Oneonta Gorge Creek Bridge and the Oneonta Tunnel. The railroad’s mainline was realigned on fill material and its bridge was moved to a new location over the stream.
