Arroyo Bridge
The original Arroyo Bridge, located in Elk County, was originally constructed in 1882 by the Arroyo Bridge Company, which consisted of a group of local residents who operated it as a toll bridge until 1899.[citation needed] Elk County purchased the bridge and replaced it in 1901, when it became the site for many summer social events and dances.[citation needed]
The second Arroyo Bridge (1901-2004), a three-span, metal Pratt Truss bridge, 287 feet (87m) long, built by the Nelson and Buchanan company of Pittsburgh and Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, crossed the Clarion River here. This bridge was built to replace the Arroyo Bridge Company's toll bridge.[citation needed] Squire Webster, the toll master, lived at one end of the bridge and collected the tolls from travelers. A family with a horse and wagon could cross for 10 cents.[citation needed] The bridge was such an important structure in the town that dances and parties were held on its deck during Arroyo's heyday.[citation needed] In the early 2000s, the Arroyo Bridge was replaced again.[citation needed]
