Modern Visitor Center

The Kinzua Bridge State Park Visitor Center is a state-of-the-art building facility that will orient visitors to the Kinzua Bridge, as well as the surrounding area. Work on the original Kinzua Viaduct was completed in 1882, and it was once the highest and longest railroad viaduct in the world. In 2003, the bridge was struck by a tornado, and partially destroyed. Today, this engineering marvel has been reinvented as a new pedestrian walkway, offering a stunning view of the Kinzua Gorge. Visitors can stroll out on the remaining support towers to stand and peer down into a partial glass platform on the viewing deck.
