Cushman Road Bridge
Description
"Tied for sixth-oldest of the 22 known Pratt pony trusses in the MDPW database, and the older of the 2 "half-hip" variants among the 22 (K-1-2) is the other Pratt half-hip). Although the traffic loads crossing this bridge are now borne solely by the concrete box beams which replaced the existing timber stringers and deck in 1980, the original 1886 trusses and floorbeams survive, apparently almost unaltered. (The 1980 box beams, in effect, "bridge over" the historic structure, leaving it intact.) Built by an importance and innovative midwestern bridge company and one of only two known bridges in the database (B-5-2/P-1-1 is the other) to incorporate WIBCo's patented ribbed-T truss verticals. In an attractive rural landscape setting." -S.J. Roper, 5/17/1989
