Liberty Park Bridge
Without a look at the steel I can't say for sure whether the railings act as part of the structure. It may just be a deck arch but they are fairly substantial.
Someone got trigger-happy clicking the rainbow designation.
Liberty Park Bridge
Does anyone know why this is listed as a "pony arch" and "rainbow arch" as it doesn't seem to be a rainbow arch by my definition. The load-bearing arch structure appears to be below (or integral with) the deck.
