Lucas County has a lot of railroad bridges thanks to Toledo, but this is one of the few highway truss bridges in the area. Located just south of the Michigan border in the Alexis region of Toledo on a road that is relatively rural for being in a city, this bridge appears to be built by an Ohio state standard plan. The bridge was fabricated by the American Bridge Company, and the Standard Engineering and Contracting Company of Toledo, Ohio were the contractors for the bridge. The bridge's polygonal configuration features a pleasing and well-defined curve to it. The presence of lattice and v-lacing on some of the built-up members and chords of this bridge further contribute to the beauty of this structure.
Information and Findings From Ohio's Historic Bridge InventorySetting/Context The bridge carries a 2 lane highway over a stream in an area of undistinguished post-World War II commercial and light industrial development near a rail yard. Physical Description The 1 span, 107'-long, rivet-connected Warren pony truss bridge has verticals and a polygonal top chord. All built-up members are traditionally composed. The concrete deck, stringers, and beam guide rail appear to date to 1967. Integrity Deck and railing replacement (1967). Summary of Significance The 1926 riveted Warren pony truss bridge built by the county has no distinguishing details or features. It is an example of the most common 20th-century truss type/design in the state that has been built since
the early 20th century, and continues to be built today albeit with rolled members and welded connections. The not eligible recommendation of the prior inventory remains appropriate. Bridge Considered Historic By Survey: No |
