Information and Findings From DHPA Historic Bridge SurveyBridge History and Significance This full-hip, single-span Pratt pony truss rests upon cut stone abutments and wingwalls with concrete caps. The largely-bolted structure extends 84' in five panels. Its verticals are fabricated from two pairs of laced angles and its diagonals and center-panel counter of a pair of angles riveted together with battens. I floor-beams, which are bolted to the verticals, carry the asphalt-over-concrete deck with its 15'6" roadway. Bolted Pratt pony spans are not plentiful. The pattern suggests an early design phrase. The unadorned bridge retains its structural integrity. References American Consulting Engineers, Inc., Bridge Inspection/Reinspection Report: Martin County (Indianapolis, 1974, 1979).
