About Sugar Creek Bridge
Designed by Karl A. Miller, the Pratt through truss was constructed in 1920 by the Groton Bridge Company of Groton, New York. 1
Sugar Creek Bridge was closed in June 2016 for rehabilitation by Allison Park Contractors of Gibsonia. 2 During the project, the 97-year-old bridge was disassembled, relocated to another location, sandblasted and galvanized before being reassembled. New concrete bridge approach slabs were poured. It reopened on February 17, 2017.
