The Beaver River Bridge (also called "Beaver Valley Bridge") is a bridge that carries the Pennsylvania Turnpike across the Beaver River in North Sewickley Township, Pennsylvania. Built in 1951 and opened in 1952, the 72-year-old bridge is being replaced with the construction of a new span to its north. The Beaver River Bridge has a total length of 1,546 ft (471 m) and a clearance below of 170 ft (52 m) making it higher than the Delaware River Bridge's 160 ft (49 m) clearance on the PA Turnpike's eastern terminus in Bucks County, but lower than the Hawk Falls Bridge's 190 ft (58 m) clearance on the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeast Extension in Carbon County. The Beaver River Bridge is an example of a mid-20th century cantilever deck truss with preservation groups making efforts to save it from demolition as its structural style is becoming rare. About 20,000 vehicles travel across the bridge each day.
