Overview
The Second Street Bridge is also known as the Quadripod Bridge because of the four steel support tubes which meet at the top to form a unique bridge design. Although cable stayed bridges are a common modern bridge design, the design for this bridge is unique for North America.

Rail line is rumored to possibly be utilized by CSX Transportation as well(via either trackage rights or run through freight) for future intermodel double stack container route between Louisville and Chicago which would doom this bridge due to it's height restrictions. Rumors mention many bridge replacement projects on this line in the next few years.
