The Jay Street Bridge crosses the West Branch Susquehanna River between Lock Haven on the south bank and Lockport on the north. The original structure, completed for the Lock Haven Bridge Company by the E. Kirkbride Company in 1852, was a covered bridge about 800 feet (240 m) long. A two-story toll house, 48 feet (15 m) long and 18 feet (5.5 m) wide was later added at the foot of the bridge on the Lock Haven side. Travelers using the bridge passed through an archway in the center of the toll house. The bridge included a covered pedestrian walkway on the downstream side.After the wooden bridge was destroyed by fire in 1919, it was replaced by an iron bridge, and a steel girder bridge replaced the iron bridge in 1986.

Canal boats crossed the pool behind the dam by means of a cable ferry between Lock No. 34, about 2,000 feet (610 m) east of the bridge on the Lockport side, and Lock No. 35 on the Lock Haven side.The steel bridge is 8.5 metres (28 ft) wide and about 250.5 metres (822 ft) long.
