The Wright's Ferry Bridge carries U.S. Route 30 over the Susquehanna River between Columbia, Pennsylvania and Wrightsville, Pennsylvania.
Commissioned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in the 1960s to relocate Route 30 and bypass the river towns of Wrightsville and Columbia, construction started in March 1969 with G.A. & F.C. Wagman, Inc. as the general contractor. It was completed in 1972 at a cost of $12,000,000.
