Carries over Chickasaw Bogue Creek
Design: truss/through/bowstring
Design Details: Bowstring through truss. From NRHP: Half-Chance Bridge is a single span wrought iron arch on Marengo County Road 39 near Dayton. The main arch span of the bridge is 100 feet while the overall length including approaches is 217 feet. The bridge is 12 feet wide and the roadbed is twenty-eight feet above the waters of the Chickasaw Bogue Creek. The wooden plank roadbed is suspended from the overhead arches by seven iron tension rods in a bowstring type pattern on each side. Three iron crossbeams support the arches at and near their vertex. The abutments supporting the arches each consist of two thirty inch steel columns. The approaches consist of a wooden roadbed over an iron pony truss. The bridge is located in a scenic rustic setting surrounded by large hardwood trees and slightly rolling hills. After restoration, Half-Chance Bridge will become the focal point of a historic-recreational facility.
