Notes
  • Significance: The bridge is significant for its complexity, carrying rail traffic in four directions across the Ohio River on a system of high viaduct spans and through trusses. Innovative methods were used to erect the main channel span in 1890, and to replace it in 1915. When completed, the Parker through truss was the world's longest riveted simple truss span.
