This bridge is a noted example of a Luten arch bridge. Not only does this bridge utilize the Luten patent, it was built by Luten's own company, the National Concrete Company. Many other companies were given the right to use Luten patented designs, so not all Luten arch bridges were built by Luten's company. Control of the patented design was managed by National Concrete Company.
This bridge is also an outstanding case study in historic concrete bridge rehabilitation. Prior to rehabilitation in 2007-2008 most people would have thought this bridge was beyond repair. The original railings were replaced, the piers had enormous holes from spalling, scour, etc, one of the arch spans had partially collapsed, and the deck had tall grass growing on much of it. Yet today, the bridge looks much as it did when it was originally built, and is in good condition, once again open to vehicular traffic. American Structurepoint was the consulting engineer for this project. Jack Isom Construction was the contractor.
American Structurepoint provided a set of photos, two of which are shown below. Additionally a special photo gallery of pre-rehab photos is available on this page.
The Lewisburg Bridge was showcased in literature for the National Concrete Company as shown in the below images.
