Information and Findings From DHPA Historic Bridge SurveyBridge History and Significance The Indianapolis Bridge Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, fabricated this single-span, pin-connected Pratt through truss which is seated upon cut stone abutments and wingwalls. Intermediate verticals of crafted I beams subdivide the 123' truss into most of its ten panels. Eyebars provide the diagonals: adjustable pairs stretch toward center span from the top panel point to the bottom of all except the endpost panels; a cylindrical eyebar with a turnbuckle counters the pairs in all but the two outer panels at each end. An adjustable cylindrical eyebar runs horizontally through the intermediate verticals about midway between the chords. U-bolted to the lower pins, girder floor-beams carry the timber deck with its 13'8" roadway and 15' of vertical clearance. One of four extant Pratts constructed by a prolific Indiana firm, this bridge retains its integrity. Its decoratively latticed portals, cast iron portal bracing and other fixtures, and unusual guardrails are all intact. Bypassed for vehicles in 2001; structure to be preserved in place.
