Partridge at a cost of $1, 375. This bridge was originally constructed across Treacle's Creek on State Route 4, south of Milford Center. In 1921 the bridge was replaced, but the wooden superstructure was saved for reuse for a new bridge on Winget Rd.The bridge was put into place in 1922 on abutments built by Reed & Sawyer. In 1988, Union County employees rehabilitated the bridge by installing wood girders inside the wood trusses and suspended the floor from the girders. The Partridge trusses currently only carry the weight of the original bridge. The steel piers under the bridge are not the original. Open to through traffic.Truss Type - Partridge Through Truss.
