| Comments: | The bridge is a single-span, steel pony truss built in 1941. The bridge is 74ft.-6 inches in length with a 20ft.-2 inch out-to-out deck width. The overall condition rating of the concrete deck and substructure is poor. There is heavy surface rust on the floor beams, with up to 15% section loss. The load rating has been reduced to 11 tons. The bridge is listed as a “Select” bridge in the Indiana Historic Bridge Inventory and the bridge is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The status of this bridge is currently "pending" which means that its future is currently unknown 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. The Vigo County Board of Commissioners is in discussions regarding potential reuse of the bridge in a local park. However, other proposals for potential reuse of the bridge from responsible parties will also be entertained. The Vigo County Board of Commissioners is now accepting proposals for the rehabilitation and reuse, or the storage and and future reuse of the bridge. | |||||
