Bridge Documentation

This bridge is rather difficult to get photos of, and is not in a very scenic area, located near a junkyard. However, this bridge is a noteworthy structure. It is a three span polygonal Warren through truss bridge. It has a substantial series of deck plate girder approach spans, which are supported by steel bents that are composed of built-up beams. The truss spans also make extensive use of riveted built-up beams which include v-lacing and lattice on various members, chords, and bracing. Connections on the bridge are riveted.
