| CR-242 Bridge | CR-242 Over Cedar Fork Creek | Rural: Morrow County, Ohio | Metal Riveted Pratt Through Truss, Stationary | 1924 By: Unknown |
Thanks to Rick McOmber for visiting and photographing this bridge.
This attractive through truss is buried away on an abandoned road. There are unusual concrete railings leading up to this bridge. 1924 is a date cast into these unusual concrete railings, which is supposedly the construction date for the truss bridge as well. Frustratingly, the contractor was listed, but was too deteriorated to be legible. The portal bracing for this bridge is rather unusual in design. There is v-lacing on the verticals and some diagonals, as well as one the sway bracing. Lattice railings remain on the bridge.
