"The Wells Street Bridge (Allen County Bridge No. 542) over the Spy Run Creek is an 88-foot long, single-span, reinforced concrete arch. The bridge appears to use the Melan system of reinforcing, a system largely abandoned by 1914. The Wells Street Bridge (Allen County Bridge No. 542) is eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places based on its engineering significance at the local level.
"this historic documentation is being done as a mitigation measure as part of the Memorandum of Agreement for the replacement of the Wells Street Bridge (Allen County Bridge No. 542)."
