Prior to the dedication of the bridge in 1987, hikers had to use the rather unpleasant Rt. 340 highway bridge about a half a mile downstream from Harpers Ferry, though I imagine some chose to risk injury by using the trestle itself. |
Note: While bridge has no stairs to get onto it on the West Virginia side, there is a rather steep circular metal staircase to get up to it from the Maryland side.
