About Yamacraw Bridge
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.

This actually contains an error. The coal mine and loading facility at Oz, KY was still in operation into the mid-1980s so the K&T was still hauling over the Yamacraw Bridge.
