The Diagonally Laid Stones of Skew Arch Bridge

The Diagonally Laid Stones of Skew Arch Bridge

The masonry of this arch has been laid at an angle, to create a skewed arch. The offset ends of this arch bridge were planned, to prevent having to create an odd bend in the Northern Turnpike. Skew Arch Bridge is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, as part of the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site.
