The metal on the bridge was sold as part of foreclosure of the final company in 1917.

The Bridge crossed the creek, east of Carver Heights Drive, Chester, past a landfill and behind a housing complex west of Bright Hope Road, which is near Beach Road.

The bridge was constructed for the Clover Hill Railroad and Mining Company to get coal trains over Swift Creek in 1841.

[2][3] The Brighthope Railway bought the Clover Hill in bankruptcy and became the new owners of the bridge in 1877.

Creditors sold the rails and other assets to the World War One Effort in France.
