The Ohiopyle Low Bridge is a 620 ft bridge spanning the Youghiogheny River. First opened in 1912 the railway connected Cumberland, Maryland and Connellsville, Pennsylvania and opened the town of Ohiopyle to tourism.

By 1975 all train service had left the bridge obsolete. Portions of the bridge were removed to allow trucks to pass underneath. In 1999 the bridge was reconstructed into a bowstring truss bridge for pedestrian access on the Great Allegheny Passage trail system. It is the longest of its type in Pennsylvania.
