About Frankfort Railroad Bridge
History
The Frankfort Railroad Bridge was constructed in 1929 for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad by the American Bridge Company of New York at a cost of $600,000. 1 The new structure—a Pennsylvania truss with Warren through truss and deck plate girder approach spans—replaced the adjacent Broadway Bridge, which had previously served as a combined crossing for rail traffic, horse-drawn vehicles (later automobiles), and pedestrians.
