Wondering if this is a Luten Arch Bridge. There are 3 other Lutens within walking distance of this bridge, but this bridge does not have any NBI data or a plaque to help.

As a former veteran: Sonar Tech (SS) USS Narwhal SSN 671 and USS Jacksonville SSN 699, I speak against naming UCEB's in honor of vets. It is a dishonor, actually. If you really want to honor a vet by naming a bridge after him (them) then please find a bridge worthy of attention. Like this "Vets Mem. Bridge" in AL: http://bridgehunter.com/al/dale/pea-river/

Lets leave UCEBS for rednecks who want to use them to propose to their future spouses by spray painting their proposal questions on them.

This bridge was built in 1934, but the covered bridge that it replaced was taken down in 1921 according to this link: http://books.google.com/books?id=SgQ2_U8H4Q8C&pg=PA70&lpg=PA70&dq=covered+bridge+perryville+ky&source=bl&ots=V77TdGIxA5&sig=g2k6qXzx9M4VMKshCvTy40thjvI&hl=en&sa=X&ei=3678UMTGNorA8ASRrYGIBQ&ved=0CDoQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=covered%20bridge%20perryville%20ky&f=false

So the bridge survived the Civil War but was taken down later, however, if it was taken down in 1921 and the new bridge was built in 1934 what was there during the interim?

This could easily be the oldest, and oldest still in use, bridge in KY.

This bridge is confusing. First of all Google Earth say this is King's Church Rd., but this looks like just a private driveway and King's Church Rd. is just to the south of this driveway. I am wondering if this driveway could be an old alignment or if Google Earth is wrong.

Next, is this bridge a real historic pony truss or is it an MOB? I personally think its a historic pony truss, but J.P., the other bridgehunter that was with me thinks its an MOB. I think its historic by looking at the rods on the bottom in the closeup pics. We could not get on the bridge itself because it is on private property and was fenced off. At the time the owner of the property was not available for permission so we had to take pics from the adjacent property.

Anyway, is this bridge real or not? Any help will be gladly accepted.

Here is an interesting bridge: Its certainly old and has been relocated. One can see in the pictures, especially photo 5, that the bridge's original supports have been cut off. Anyway, wanting to know what kind of bridge this is, can it be considered a pony truss? And if so, what kind?

Apparently this bridge is the "Oldest traffic bridge in AL." Now, I wonder what they mean by "traffic bridge." Anyway, it seems that there are some older bridges......well, some comments are appreciated.

Some Eye Candy for everyone: http://www.wallcoo.net/human/2010_Travel_Geographic_Desktop_04/Bastei%20Bridge%20Over%20the%20Elbe%20River%20Schweiz%20National%20Park%20Saxony%20Germany.html

This bridge used to be the original alignment of US 31 into Louisville from New Albany, Indiana. US 31 was realigned onto the 2nd Street Bridge when it opened, however the K and I bridge remained opened until a truck caused some minor damage to the decking in the 70's.

One of the more interesting bridges I found. I wonder what happened to the bridge's center span.....unless the current center span is original to the bridge?

Just found this unlisted bridge and listed it. From the looks of the photo in the link it looks like a bowstring. Is it a real bowstring or is it an "MOB?" I would like to say its real and has been modified to be a pedestrian bridge, but need help here. So please feel free to chip in.

Really? In Alabama? My home state? I can not believe I just discovered this! First of all....im not at all familiar with such concrete arch bridges so I need serious help. Is it a Marsh Arch (Rainbow), bowstring, or something else entirely? I am going nuts here right now.

Somehow I doubt that the NBI build date of 1960 is correct for this bridge. Any takers?

This whole "Split Bridge" conversation reminded me that I forgot to actually practice what I preach! I forgot that this summer I found that pesky second Old Boonville Bridge section that seemed so elusive. I found that it is located at the Santa Fe Trail monument on the northern side of the Mo. River. Anyway, since this section of the O.B.B. now serves as a complete different purpose as a monument in a complete different location from where the bridge was I added it as a separate entry.
