In 1905, the Frisco Railroad constructed a number of highly detailed Pratt Through Trusses.
Teaming up with King Bridge Company of Cleveland, Ohio, these new trusses were heavily built but contained ornate features more common on 1880s bridges.
Of these details, the portal bracing is the most striking. It is beautiful cutout design.
The main span of the bridge is a large 7-panel pin connected Pratt Through Truss. It is approached by a series of 4 deck girder spans on the east end.
The truss is identical to a nearby bridge in Wilson County, as well as another in Labette County.
Despite the 1905 build date, the structure is set onto purely concrete substructures.
Because of the detailed and intricate design, the author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant.
The photo above is looking east along the bridge. One can access the bridge from 4175 Road.
