Ottawa Street Bridge

Posted April 23, 2007, by Nathan Holth (www [dot] historicbridges [dot] org)

Andrea Wilkins sent these photos of this Canton Bridge Company to me (www.historicbridges.org) of this half-hip Pratt pony truss with pinned connections and an unknown construction date. The plaque is mounted on top of the end post and has no date, but does credit the Canton Bridge Company. This bridge is slated for demolition and replacement. The structure is in a condition that would allow for an easy restoration. This bridge does not deserve to be demolished!
