The New Geneva Bridge is a truss bridge that carries the Norfolk Southern Railway across the Monongahela River between Nicholson Township and Monongahela Township, Pennsylvania. The bridge was originally built to serve the Monongahela Railroad; it has long been part of a heavily travelled coal route. At the time of construction, it was the largest bridge ever constructed using end manufacturing. The structure is just upriver from Friendship Hill National Historic Site.
