Tioga Road Bridge

Yes, the old two-lane bridge just south of the Tioga bridge was replaced just after the turn of the current century. Its replacement was built while the old metal bridge was still standing, and was completed after the metal bridge was demolished. The new bridge was named after William "Bill" Luse, who was involved in creating and operating "The Madam Carroll," a boat that docked nearby.

The US 421 bridge downstream is a modern I-beam bridge. As with most modern bridges, they have little individuality.

1 Viewed from the restaurant deck on the east back, north of the bridge. From here, you can also see the old truss.

The 421 Bridge was replaced 7 or 8 years ago. Sorry!

I guess this great bridge probably is being restored now. I last saw it nearly ten years ago probably shortly after it was closed. Being kept as a pedestrian bridge would be best for it because it is on the edge of Monticello and considerable traffic would put a lot of strain on this old bridge.

I wonder if the through truss bridge downstream from the Tioga on US 421 over the Tippecanoe still exists. Not being there in awhile, it may or may not because it was narrow and in rough looking shape when I saw it years ago.
