Elkhorn City Bridge (East)

The Elkhorn City Bridge formerly carried KY Route 80 over the Russell Fork in Elkhorn City, Kentucky.


The Elkhorn City Bridge (East) was constructed in 1912 by the Champion Bridge Company of Wilmington, Ohio, and consists of a Camelback through truss, a Pratt through truss, and a Pratt pony truss. It was bypassed in 1968 and converted into a pedestrian-only crossing.
