Bridge 5 & 92, is located along the route of the former Northern Central Railway. The bridge spans over Main Street in the borough of Seven Valleys. This bridge is constructed in the same manner many of the remaining railroad bridges throughout York County.
This single span girder bridge, constructed in 1900, was built to carry a double track way, however, only one set of tracks remain today. Its five riveted steal girters rests on straight abutments of large granite ashlars. The abutments which are stepped, also act as retaining walls for the grading of the railroad and are likely the original abutments from the old trestle bridge constructed when the rail line was laid.
The bridge remains in use today as a railtrail bridge only.
Bridge is owned by Local Government.
