Located in Plattsmouth, this deck girder bridge crosses Avenue C at the intersection of 15th Street.
Built in 1916, the bridge is composed of a standard deck plate girder span, set onto stone piers with concrete caps. The caps were likely added when the present bridge was built, and the stone dates to well before the present bridge. In addition, the bridge is approached by trestle spans on both sides.
Bridges like this were commonly used as grade separations across America, because of the ease of construction and long lives.
