North Hyndman Bridge, Baltimore & Ohio Railroad spanning Wills Creek, Hyndman, Bedford County, PA
Summary
Significance: This bridge was built by the King Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the nation's leading nineteenth-century bridge manufacturing concerns. King Bridge was one of the few large bridge building companies to survive the merger movement of 1900-01 when the giant American Bridge Company, a subsidiary of the U.S. Steel Corporation, was formed. The B&O's bridge at Wills Creek is likely one of the last King Bridge Company spans erected in Pennsylvania.
