The abandoned Yamacraw Bridge carried the Kentucky & Tennessee Railroad over the Big South Fork Cumberland River in Yamacraw, Kentucky.
The Yamacraw Bridge was built as part of the Stearns & Lumber Company’s connection to Mine No. 10 and No. 11 in 1906. The closed-spandrel concrete arch bridge was built by the Collier Bridge Company of Indianapolis, Indiana. The mines closed in 1966 and the bridge was abandoned shortly thereafter.
