This bridge is still in its original location. It was the only way for Town of Addison residents, west of the river, to get to the village of Allenton, to the east. The state built a bridge, just to the north, in the 1920's to carry Wis 33. The bridge continued to be used by local traffic until 1973, when the road was closed to vehicles and it became part of Riveredge Park.

The mark of a bedstead pony truss is the steel plate abutment, not really a good idea against the wet and shifting soil of a riverbank. The vertical end post does not rest on a footing above the water line and extends down into the water, reinforced by a steel plate. This led the Wisconsin Highway Commission to stop using bedstead trusses. One commissioner reportedly said, "Bedstead trusses are designed to sell, not to serve."

Here's where it was
Looking east. Beaver Dam Road is a farm road that crossed the river here, continued east for several hundred feet, then angled north. (You can see extant pavement in the distance.) The road was cut by the upgrade of US 41 to freeway status, relegating this section of road, and this bridge, superfluous.
Photo taken by J.R. Manning in August 2008
122012
Looking west from Beaver Dam Road
The bridge was located about 500 feet to the east. The old right-of-way was freshly mowed. The yellow sign on the right indicates that the right-of-way is for foot traffic only.

The old alignment can be seen on the right side of the photo. The intersection to the upper left, across US 41, was where the road used to go.

The trail extends from Rusco Road (just south of West Bend) to Eden in Fond du Lac County. 5 miles of the trail is paved in the City of West Bend and seems to be quite popular with inline skaters.

Barrel Shot Looking North
This bridge is located on Shadow Lane, the old alignment of US 45. (See essay for more.)

Deck and East Railing
This is a fine example of post-war highway bridge design. The deck was recently repaved as part of the resurfacing of Shadow Lane. Until the 1970s, this road carried US 45.

East Railing Detail
The modern steel guard rail appears to be the only modern addition to this bridge.

Deck Looking Southwest
That's modern US 41/45 in the distance, just south of the split. US 41 veers to the northwest and US 45 continues north to West Bend.

The South Approach
Note how the roadway curves slightly to the northwest. At first glance, it appears the curve might be the original location of the 41-45 split but there is no evidence that the road continued northwest from this location.

135267
Looking South
Shadow Lane aligns perfectly with the northbound lanes of US 41/45, showing that this was, at one time, the alignment of a major federal highway.
