Union Truss former Railroad Bridge, Struthers, Ohio We came upon this old bridge and honestly couldn't find any real information about when it was built or by who. However, we thought it ws a pretty cool bridge that should be recognized before it's lost to time. The 3 span steel through truss bridge is located on Bob Cane Way and spans the Mahoning River. The single lane bridge isn't used very much but it does give you a great view of the river below.

I love heavily skewed truss bridges like this one. The already-fascinating geometry of a truss gets even more amazing when you add a severe skew into the design.
This bridge does not appear to be in the NBI, though it is open to auto traffic.
