James Morrison Memorial Bridge ...
The James Morrison bridge is sometimes called the Cornplanter Bridge on USFS maps, though the Seneca's reject the term as they consider it to be an insult as they were flooded out of their land once promised to be their own for eternity under eminent domain. The bridge has narrow shoulders and low guard rails, though one time I walked out on it, and the public not prohibited from walking on it by sign or other measure.

More about Allegheny National Forest...
The Forest Service brought new concepts in forest management to the Allegheny Plateau -- multiple benefits and sustainability. The Organic Act of 1897 introduced the National Forest mission: to improve the forest, provide favorable conditions for water flows, and furnish a continuous supply of wood to meet people's needs. On these lands, seedlings for tomorrow's forest are the focus of forest management activities. Watersheds are managed to ensure clear water for fisheries like trout and clean drinking water for all.
Over time, various laws added other benefits like wilderness, heritage resources and grazing to the original ideas of watershed protection and continuous wood supply. The Multiple Use-Sustained Yield Act of 1960 recognized outdoor recreation and habitat for wildlife and fisheries.
The motto "Land of Many Uses" captures the National Forest goal of a healthy, vigorous forest that provides wood products, watershed protection, a variety of wildlife habitats and recreational opportunities -- not only for us today, but in a sustainable way so future generations can enjoy these benefits, too.

I guess this will be a stupid question, but what in which state is this bridge?
This is the bridge over the Allegheny Reservoir outside of Kane, PA. Sometimes known as the Cornplanter Bridge or the Kinzua Bridge.
