Robyn at Ball's Bridge
The Balls Bridge is technically defined as a two-span pin connected Pratt through truss. The bridge is supported by a concrete pier and one stone and one concrete abutment. The concrete abutment is at the west end of the bridge, while the stone is at the east end. Each span is composed of eight panels. The pin connected truss bridge was a common design during the late 1800s and early 1900s but faded away as new building techniques were developed.
