The Martins Creek Viaduct, also called the Kingsley Bridge, is often overlooked as the smaller brother of the Tunkhannock Viaduct at Nicholson. But it was completed first and was for a few years the largest reinforced concrete bridge in the world. It retains its second-place ranking in that category to this day.
The massive Martins Creek Viaduct, constructed between 1912 and 1914, was just one of a series of bridges, overpasses and tunnels that helped reduce both the grade and curvature of the rail line between Clarks Summit and Hallstead.
When it was finished, the DL&W threw a lavish dance party on its deck for 200 employees called the Ariel Dance. One of the remaining construction derricks was used as an elevator to carry guests to the top of the structure where they enjoyed music by the Oppenheim Orchestra from New York City.
During WW 1 it ws protected by US ARMY and in WW 2 it was guarded by local young people commissiond as Air Wardens
