History
The Frankfort Railroad Bridge was constructed for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad in 1929 by the American Bridge Company of New York at the cost of $600,000. 1 The Pennsylvania truss with Warren through truss and deck plate girder approach spans replaced the adjoining Broadway Bridge, which had been used as a combination railroad, horse-and-buggy (later automobile), and pedestrian crossing.
