Crossing the Connequenessing to Hazel Dell
Hazel Dell Bridge
Originally the bridge that connected the Northside (Hazel Dell) to Ellwood City, was a covered bridge. The road that climbed the bank on the south side met 6th Street and Glenn Ave.

When it became time to get a steel bridge there was a lot of debate as to where it should cross. Eventually the new bridge was installed 150 yards downstream from the covered bridge, connecting 6th Street and College Street.

After 30+ years, a new bridge was built a little upstream at 5th Street causing an odd little “round-a-bout” on the North end of the bridge around Dom’s (later 7-11), Red Hot’s, and the various stores that occupied the little strip over the years. The Veterans Bridge (5th Street) stood until 1994 when construction began on the current 5th St bridge that was dedicated in 1995 to the Veterans of Ellwood City and to the 100th graduating class of Lincoln High School.
