| Additional Information: | A deck girder bridge that carries the railroad tracks over 52nd Street in the City of Kenosha, this fabrication employs a simple post-and-beam structural form. Rolled "I" beams extend between two concrete abutments and are supported in the middle by a pier with "I" beam uprights and an "I" beam top chord. It was constructed in 1931 by the American Bridge Company. The bridge's construction followed the railroad's arrival in Kenosha by approximately 75 years. |
