Overview The Old Camp Nelson Bridge is really not the "oldest" of the trio of Camp Nelson Bridges (See Camp Nelson Covered Bridge). The Old Camp Nelson Bridge was built in 1926 to replace the Camp Nelson Covered Bridge and it was, in turn, replaced by a "newer" US 27 Camp Nelson Bridge in 1972. The "new" Camp Nelson Bridge is currently open to traffic while the Old Camp Nelson Bridge sits abandoned. All that remains of the "Old" Old Camp Nelson Bridge (Covered Bridge) are its approaches and its portal archway entrance on the north bank of the Kentucky River. Photo taken by James McCray |
