The Emlenton Low Level Bridge is a girder bridge that spans the Allegheny River at Emlenton in the U.S state of Pennsylvania. It connects two separate portions of the borough in Venango and Clarion counties. Originally, an 1883 truss bridge stood on the site, which replaced several previous wooden structures; the modern bridge was constructed in 1987. This bridge is dwarfed by its more famous nearby cousin, the 1968 Emlenton Bridge along Interstate 80.
