The Mingo Creek Viaduct, officially called the Joe Montana Bridges, are a pair of twin girder bridges that carry Pennsylvania Route 43 over the Mingo Creek, Pennsylvania Route 88, and the Wheeling and Lake Erie Railway between Union Township and Carroll Township, both of Washington County, Pennsylvania.
The bridge was completed in April 2002. It spans 2,400 feet in length, and has a height of approximately 260 feet, making it the highest bridge in the Pennsylvania Turnpike system and the second-highest bridge in Pennsylvania (after the Emlenton Bridge at 270 feet).[1]
The bridge is named after Pro Football Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Joe Montana, who played for nearby Ringgold High School.[2]
