Comments
A mounted steel W-beam guardrail was added to the bridge c. 2009, replacing an earlier pipe railing. This continuous encased steel beam bridge was constructed around 1930-1935 and is an early example of its type. The bridge is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The status of the bridge is currently "pending", meaning its future is undetermined as the Section 106 process is ongoing. Depending on the outcome of Section 106 consultation, interested parties may be able to acquire the bridge. Lawrence 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. Current load rating of 15 tons.
