This three-span, steel rigid frame bridge was built in 1973. It is eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C: Engineering as the earliest extant example of a bridge built of weathering steel in Indiana and as the only extant steel rigid frame bridge that was built of weathering steel. Due to its construction date outside the study period for the INDOT Historic Bridge Inventory and its usage as a pedestrian structure, it has not been classified (“Select” or "Non- Select") per the Programmatic Agreement regarding Management and Preservation of Indiana's Historic Bridges (Historic Bridge PA) and will not be processed under the 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 Section 106 consultation, interested parties may be able to acquire the bridge. INDOT 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.
