Inscription

Marshyhope Creek Bridge Until it was renamed Federalsburg in 1812, the community took its name from the bridge at this crossing. This 215-foot concrete structure was built in 1910 by the Luten Bridge Company of York, Pa, a firm noted for its filled spandrel arch design. It was built as part of the newly-formed State Roads Commission's plan to improve the highway system.
