View Information About HSR Ratings
This is one of a unique group of six historic truss bridges found along this road. This is the only through truss among this group. This section of road was a former railroad line, abandoned ca. 1899 and later converted to a highway.
Construction date is an estimate. The bridge is clearly an early 20th century bridge as it displays a transition from pinned to riveted connections, with some connections such as at the hip vertical being a combination of riveted gusset plate and pin.
Information and Findings From DHPA Historic Bridge SurveyBridge History and Significance Seated upon cut stone abutments and wingwalls with concrete caps, this pin-connected Pratt through span extends 106'6" in six panels. A pair of laced channels provides each set of intermediate verticals, a pair of die-forged eyebars serves as the diagonal sets, and single, cylindrical rods with turnbuckles counter the diagonals in the two most central panels. The I floor-beams are bolted to pin plates. The bridge carries a concrete deck with a 15'9" roadway and 14' of vertical clearance. These pinned Pratt through trusses are conventionally designed. The original truss members still function, including the latticed portals.
