The Sergeant Carl F. Curran II Bridge is a girder bridge connecting East Brady and Brady's Bend Township, Pennsylvania. The structure was completed in 2007 to replace a narrow 1885 truss bridge that had been reconstructed twice (in 1953 and 1974). The replacement span was built as part of ongoing improvements to Route 68.
The structure's namesake is a member of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard who was killed in Iraq in 2004. Curran grew up just blocks from the bridge's location.
