MichaelWD: <br />We were driving down from Canada. Came south through Ellicotteville. In Pennsylvania we were on Rte 219. Little place called Lantz Corners at Rte 219 and Rte 6, a 4-way stop sign. Go east and follow the signs. It's a very pretty drive of just a few minutes on a winding, woodsy road. The bridge is in a state park, no admission fee. You can't miss it. You can get right to the bridge but not onto it due to safety reasons. About half of it is still standing. The rest is fallen over into the valley. You can see the trees destroyed on the tornado's path, leading right up to the bridge. It looks like the bridge might have been spared if the storm path had lifted about 50 yards sooner. There is a lookout for a decent view. If you really want to do it up right, there is a small excursion train which runs from the town of Kane, just west of Rte 219. It was backed right up to the bridge when we were there about 10 days ago. I don't know what the hours of operation are for the train. Pennsylvania Tourism might have some info. It is well worth the trip to the bridge although it obviously would have been a much better trip 2 years ago. Bummer! <br />I hope you can find time to make the trip. It's worth it.
