The Safe Harbor Trestle also known as the Safe Harbor Bridge, Port Road Bridge and the Enola Low Grade Line (A&S Railroad) Steel Trestle is a steel deck truss trestle that spans the Conestoga River at Safe Harbor, Pennsylvania near the Susquehanna River for the Port Road Branch and the former Columbia and Port Deposit Railroad along the Susquehanna River. It was built 1904 for the Atglen and Susquehanna Railroad.[1]

There are two more bridges at this site, the bottom bridge, Port Road Bridge, carries rail, and Safe Harbor Dam access road Bridge, (on the left) carries authorized vehicle service for the Safe Harbor Dam.[2] While the branch was closed the tracks were removed in 1990.
