Length - 154'.... Approx. 3 miles NE from Rushville, Indiana St. Rt.-3, 2.5 miles north to R. E. 300 N, approx. 1.8 miles to bridge. Built by Emmett L. Kennedy and his sons, Karl and Charles. This is the next to last bridge constructed by the Kennedy family. It does not feature their usual trademark scrolls and brackets found on their earlier bridges. Apparently the Victorian styling was considered out of vogue by the early 20th century. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 2, 1983, as part of a multiple property submission covering six bridges built by the Kennedy family firm. Open to through traffic. Truss Type - Covered Burr Arch Through Truss
