Barrel Shot Looking North

The old bridge was replaced by this one in 2007. It's not just an UCEB, in fact, it has some rather classic design features, although the blocks are imitation.

Each quadrant has these five holes with threaded tube. There is also a below-grade electrical box at each quadrant, making this appear to be a mounting for a light fixture that hasn't been installed.

Brick Facing of East Parapet Wall

They aren't bricks or blocks, they are raised-relief and a part of the casting. The finish might be placed in the mold, making the color a part of the casting itself, but that is mere speculation.

View Google Map

Carries Pedestrian Walkway over Lakeside Creek
Design: truss/pony/bowstring
Design Details: Single span, arched parabolic truss with pinned connections and a concrete replacement deck. It is 67'4" long, 10'11" wide and 8'7" high. The three-section, parabolic top chords are two upright, curved, iron channels connected with riveted cover plates. The bottom chords are two upright iron channels connected with riveted cover plates, supported by iron L-beams. Diagonal bracing consisted of cylindrical eyebars which pass through the top chord and are secured with cast iron skewbacks and hex nuts. The bridge is divided into ten panels by a series of iron verticals, laced with short, horizontal and diagonal members. These verticals are similar in configuration to the verticals on an 1877 Pratt through truss, built by Milwaukee Bridge and Iron Works in Burlington, Wisconsin. The ends of the upper chords are riveted to the ends of the lower chords, which were riveted to steel-bearing pads resting on concrete abutments.

We're discussing the truss bridge here, not the plate girder in the foreground. The plate girder bridge is interesting in itself. The plate girder is on an active rail line, the truss is on an abandoned right of way. Southeast of the bridge, the abandoned right-of-way has been converted to a pedestrian/bike path.
