Blue Bridge

Blue Bridge

The Blue Bridge carries Lamereaux Road over the West Branch Huron River in Huron County, Ohio.


The Blue Bridge was constructed in 1882 by the King Bridge Company. It originally consisted of two pin-connected Pratt through trusses. Load-bearing stringers were installed during a rehabilitation of the structure in 1996 rendering the trusses decorative.

The bridge is dedicated after Jack A. Twaddle of the Huron County Highway Department whose dedication and preserverance provided the inspiration for the reconstruction of the Blue Bridge.

    I was part of the Huron County Hwy Dept. that rebuilt the bridge in 1969. The center concrete ice preventer was completed then as well as other concrete structure. I also panted it with with red lead then blue by hand, Summer jobs back then for college kids.
