This bridge crosses the Ohio at Brunot Island, with a spur to connect the power plant on the island to the railroad. It was built in 1915, so it will be 111 years old this year. This is the northern span, crossing the front channel of the river.
One of the engineering features of the bridge is a wye at the northern end, with viaducts bringing railroad from two directions to cross the river.
