County Line Bridge
Posted March 27, 2007, by Anthony Dillon (spansaver [at] hotmail [dot] com)

This bridge was restored in recent years. It was erected by the Burk Construction Co. of New Castle, IN and the trusses were likely manufactured by the Pan American Bridge Co. also of New Castle. It is a Parker Thru Truss.
