Friendship Road Bridge

The Friendship Road Bridge spans Stephens Creek in Monroe County, Indiana.



The Friendship Road Bridge, also known as Monroe County Bridge Number 114, spans Stephens Creek in Monroe County, Indiana.

This pinned Pratt through truss bridge was built in 1898 by the Lafayette Bridge Company of Lafayette, Indiana. 1 In 2002, the bridge was rehabilitated by CLR Construction of Vincennes. 2 The work included plating the end posts and the entire upper chord with steel plates to stiffen the structure, replacing all floor beams supporting the stringer beams and wooden deck, and repairing existing floor beams. The renovation earned the 2003 Indiana Partnership for Highway Quality Achievement Award from the Federal Highway Administration and the Indiana Department of Transportation.
