YIKES!!! Not sure why this posted multiple times....sorry, ghost in the machine I guess.
This bridge is known as the "Twin Bridge". It originally had an iron railroad bridge that sat directly on top of it. That bridge was replaced in 1906 by the concrete arches that still exist behind this bridge. One of the abutments of the original bridge still exist. The 1906 date given for this bridge is incorrect. It was actually built in 1886 by the Indiana Bridge Co.(Indianapolis)in the short time before they moved to Muncie. It is a rare highway Baltimore thru truss. They built another one in Martin County over Indian Creek that is also still standing but abandoned. The Twin Bridge is scheduled for rehabilitation, possibly even as I write this. The following picture shows the iron roadway bridge and the concrete railroad arches.

From the description given I believe this is the bridge. It has been closed for years.
