Description: Williamsport, PENNSYLVANIA - Market Street Bridge - Susquehanna River - 1925: The Carl E. Stotz Memorial Little League Bridge is the seventh bridge to span the West Branch Susquehanna River between Williamsport and South Williamsport at Market Street since the 1840s. It was built to replace the sixth Market Street Bridge, a steel deck structure which the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation originally intended to rehabilitate and widen. When this proved to be unfeasible, plans for a new bridge were put into place. The West Branch Susquehanna River was spanned by a fifth Market Street Bridge from 1894 until 1949. That bridge is shown here with trolley running on it and riverboat running under it. The two-lane truss bridge was built by the Crofton Bridge and Manufacturing Company of Croton, New York. The bridge was nearly destroyed in 1909 when a discarded cigarette set a fire among the wooden planks of the bridge. Market Street Bridge number five was dynamited into the river and dismantled in 1949. This White Border Era postcard, mailed in 1925, is in good condition but there is some franking on the image and a corner crease. M. No. 8329. No. 1312 C. A. R.
