Third Street Bridge

This bridge has a New Castle/Central States style plaque on it. I don't know if records exist to support it, but I would bet $$$ that A.Y.Bayne sublet the fabrication of this span to the Central States Bridge Company. They were known to fabricate trusses for various firms that either didn't have their own facilities, or were unable to keep up with demand.
