There is Parking for the GAP trail on Daniel road on the Perryopolis side of the River right below the bridge. The bridge itself is interesting and old. Originally built for the railroad, it was converted into a one lane bridge for automobiles. It honestly feels like it’s gonna fall into the Youghiogheny River when you drive across it but that’s it’s whole charm.

Used to be an old train tunnel, but it's now a very interesting one-way vehicle tunnel. Also, it's right near 'Buffalo Bill's House' from the movie 'Silence of The Lambs'

Such an amazing place to check out. Its extra special If you find the pull off and can walk the trail that goes under the bridge.

Single lane train trestle and tunnel converted to vehicular use, fantastic location and area, absolutely chock full of history. But there is a spooky feeling going across this bridge, knowing how rusted and treacherous the structure really is. A GAP trail parking lot is located just past the tunnel, find your way underneath it and look up, you will see...
