This bridge is a good example of a riveted Pratt pony truss. it is unaltered, and it retains original lattice railings. The bridge includes outriggers. It has a fairly heavy design and a lot of panels, even considering its fairly long 80 foot span length.
Information and Findings From DHPA Historic Bridge SurveyStatement of Significance The designer accommodated the unusually great length of this span by opting for full-hip verticals, calling for heavier-than-usual stock for many members and using sway bracing. The structure retains its structural integrity and decorated guardrails. Architectural Description Each truss of the single-span, full-hip Pratt pony was shop-riveted into two sections bolted together at the site and erected upon concrete abutments and wingwalls. The trusses span 80' in eight panels. Their verticals are made from two pairs of angles and battens which also serve external sway braces. A pair of angles and battens provide the diagonals and the counters used in the two most central panels. The diagonals vary in size, the angles being heavier towards the endpost than towards midspan. A pair of heavy angles and battens also supply the lower-chord members. Bolted to gussets and the verticals above the lower chord, I floor beams carry a concrete deck and 15'6" roadway. Latticed guardrails protect the trusses. Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: Yes |
