Bridge before relocation

This and the following pictures are of the bridge before its relocation to the Hayswood Nature Preserve in Corydon, IN. These pictures show the bridge when it was taken off its foundations and placed in a field adjacent to its replacement bridge.

Old and New Together

This is quite a neat photo. One can note three things about this photo which are quite rare in the life of a bridge. 1. The new bridge (right center) can be seen with the old bridge (background). 2. The old bridge is not demolished, but is waiting to be taken to a new location and reused. 3. The old bridge's support abutments remain in place (foreground and left center).

Overview

Breeden's Bridge is an unusual bridge with an unusual story. The bridge is a mixmatched bridge. It consists of two different type of truss spans, which were made in different years, and also, both spans originated from two different locations. The spans were relocated to their present location in 1959. The Parker Truss span is 400' long and was constructed in 1900. The Pratt Truss span was constructed in 1883 and is reported to be the oldest of its type in Indiana. The bridge sits in O'Bannon Woods State Park about three miles south of Leavenworth, IN on an old logging road just off to the east of IN HWY 62. The future of this bridge is bright. It is scheduled to be rehabilitated into a pedestrian bridge in the near future.
