Thanks to Jim Cooper for additional information.
Just a note: The design is Rezner, but my gut says its made by Wrought Iron Bridge Co. after they acquired Rezner's firm. The overhead bracing suggests WIBCo. to me.

Tom, you're very welcome. I enjoyed finding the article. Tony was gracious enough to map it.
Melissa, Thanks for the photo and info on this bridge. Back before Bridgehunter, I would look at my CJ Puetz Indiana County Maps for road bridges crossing certain streams. Then I'd go see whether I'd find a historic bridge or UCEB. About 20 years ago, I went this location and found the road closed. Then an older gentleman wondered what I was doing. He said the bridge was gone and it was an iron bridge. Wow, a good sized bowstring once existed there.
Thank you for your assistance!
2 Rezner Bowstrings in one day! Very impressive Melissa!!
While that is certainly a possibility Art, I have seen fabricators vary their strut designs with such frequency that I rarely use them for identification purposes. I felt it best to just pay homage to the original firm here.
