Bicycle Bridge
Somebody told me that there was also a one-lane through truss bridge over the Wabash on Bicycle Road that was three or four spans. They said it was removed like in the late 70s or early 80s. Its such a shame that both Bicycle bridges are gone!

This is the new Bicycle Bridge over the Tippicanoe.

This bridge appears to have been torn down or moved sometime around 1999-2000! I drove to this location and found a new bridge with a plaque dating 2001 for year of completion.
