The Charenton Bridge (Bridge Recall No. 008970) is located at latitude 29.825298 north, longitude - 91.537959 west.1 The coordinate represents the center of the bridge. It was obtained in 2016 by plotting its location in Google Earth. The location has no restriction on its release to the public. Present Owner: State of Louisiana. Present Use: Vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Significance: The Charenton Bridge is significant as an important example of a distinctive truss type. The bridge’s significant design feature is its K-truss configuration, characterized by the arrangement of vertical and diagonal members to form a “K” in each truss panel. The K-truss is a rare variation both nationally and in Louisiana, where there are only three extant examples of the bridge type.2 The Charenton Bridge retains good integrity and clearly conveys the significant design features of the through K-truss. It was determined eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) in 2013 under Criterion C: Engineering at the state level of significance.3 Historian(s): Angela Hronek, Cultural Resource Specialist, and Robert M.
