This three-arch bridge, distinguished by an unusually high center arch, was built in 1830 over a ford in Antietam Creek that Braddock's army used in 1755. Samuel Hitt was instrumental in financing the bridge, which Silas Harry built as agent for John Weaver at a cost of only $1,413.66. Hitt later chose this ford as the site of his grist and sawmill, now known as Pry's Mill.
