Facts 

Overview
Lost Concrete deck girder bridge over State Road 124 on former CSX Transportation (nee Chessie System, Chesapeake and Ohio of Indiana) in Peru
Location
Peru, Miami County, Indiana
Status
Removed
History
Another bottleneck to get past, you had to make sharp turns to pass under the bridge as SR 124 switched from one side to the other of track. Deck and girders removed but Concrete abutments remain. Area completely bypassed by new SR 124 alignment.
Design
Very Low clearance for road traffic with tight turns to pass under. Once beautiful concrete supports on either side of roadway beside abutments, now eyesore abandoned to North of current highway alignment.
