Comments: | 29 tons inventory, 50 tons operating load rating. It is the last remaining example of this type of railing in the county, but is one of two in northeast Indiana. The bridge is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places, but is rated "Non-Select" per the Programmatic Agreement regarding Management and Preservation of Indiana's Historic Bridges (Historic Bridge PA). The status of this bridge is currently "pending," meaning its future is undetermined as the Section 106 historic review process is on-going. Depending on the outcome of the Section 106 consultation, interested parties may be able to acquire the bridge. Allen County is now accepting proposals for the rehabilitation and reuse, or the storage and future reuse of the bridge. Proposals will also be accepted for the salvage of elements that may be stored for future repair of similar historic bridges. |
