Carson Road (Rt.269) Bridge
Description
Bridge Let June 3, 1879 in Pike Township, Knox County, Ohio near Silas Dowds' for $10 per lineal foot (Mount Vernon Democrat, June 13, 1879).I poked around on satellite images of Pike twp to see if I could find its former location and found this undocumented single lane truss bridge. It doesn't look like a CBW pony from the images.
I continued poking and by chance while looking through an Amazon preview I found that a photo exists in "Knox County Bridges" - 2008 stating the bridge IS Pike Township, Bridge #6; Township Road 269 (Carson Road). There are two water crossings on this road in Pike township. The other is a culvert. Could it possibly be???
Nope... Replaced in 1998 by a bridge originally built in 1951 by Ohio Bridge Corporation as Pleasant Township (Knox Co., OH) Bridge #6; County Highway 54 (Big Run Road)
