Bluegrass Creek-East County Line Road Bridge
Description
This was a unique little structure with light Lattice Bedstead trusses composed largely of angles, shop-riveted into two sections and then bolted together on site. It featured an arched lower chord that I have not seen on another bedstead truss of any type. Likely constructed in the early twentieth century, the exact date and fabricator are unknown.
