Information and Findings From Ohio's Historic Bridge InventorySetting/Context The bridge has been bypassed and closed to traffic. It is located in a rural setting. Physical Description The 1 span, pin-connected Pratt thru truss bridge is traditionally composed of built-up compression members and eyebar tension members. Summary of Significance The 1906 pin-connected truss was bypassed and taken out of service in 1992 with no adverse effect. It remains open as a pedestrian bridge. This is a conventional design, although it is fairly long span. There has been no significant change in the bridge's status since the prior evaluation. It is an eligible bridge from the prior inventory. It is a late example of a well-represented type and design in Ohio. Justification The bridge is one of over 150 extant pin-connected truss bridges dating from 1874 for pony trusses and 1876 for thru trusses. Twenty six predate 1888 and represent the era of experimentation that evolved into standardized designs by about 1888. This example has moderate significance because the genre and the fabricator are so well represented in Ohio. Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: Yes |
