Summary

Significance: The Bodines Bridge is a pin-connected Pratt through truss spanning 149 feet. One of 47 metal truss bridges nominated to the National Register of Historic Places as part of a statewide historic bridge nomination, it is an intact representative example of a late nineteenth century Pratt through truss. Relatively inexpensive and easy to manufacture, ship, and erect, this bridge type found widespread application in rural areas throughout the last quarter of the nineteenth century and well into the twentieth century.
