Located between West Chester and Washington, this large through truss bridge crosses the W. Fork of Crooked Creek.
Reportedly built in 1888, the bridge features a single standard quadrangular through truss. These trusses were commonly see. on both the Rock Island and the Chicago & North Western, and feature riveted connections and a distinctive pedimented portal bracing.
In addition, this bridge is also approached by several trestle spans on either side. The bridge rests on stone and timber pile substructures.
Overall, the bridge appears to be in good condition. Unfortunately, dense brush kept the author from getting closer to the structure and doing a thorough inspection.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the truss design.
