National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Section No. 7 Page 1 Ohio Street Bridge The Ohio Street Bridge (Vanderburgh County Bridge Cy3), completed in 1891, is located in Evansville, Vanderburgh County, Indiana. The bridge formerly carried Ohio Street across Pigeon Creek at the point where the creek flows into the Ohio River (photo 1). A replacement bridge was constructed 300 feet upstream in 1996. The historic bridge remains in its original location but is closed to traffic. Immediately adjacent to the bridge to the north is the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Bridge, a Parker through truss built in 1908 by the American Bridge Company (53384). The Ohio Street Bridge is a single-span, pin-connected, Pratt through truss. The bridge is constructed of steel, with some cast iron elements. It is seated on cut sandstone abutments and wing walls (photos 1, 6). The bridge has a span of 198 feet, a roadway of 24 feet, a vertical clearance of 21 feet and an underclearance of 29 feet. The top chord members and the portal frame diagonal members are compression members and are fabricated of plate and angles
