Milwaukee River Railroad Bridge
Bridge Documentation
This bridge was built 1915 to replace a circa 1890 double-track swing bridge.
Lattice trusses (sometimes called Warren Quadrangular trusses) range from uncommon to rare on a national scale, but are much more common locally in Wisconsin and particularly Milwaukee, relatively speaking. This example is further rare on a national scale as a movable lattice truss. As a swing bridge, this structure does not feature a continuous camelback shape, nor does it feature the two through spans connected by a central tower, instead it is simply a continuous trapezoidal truss. This form is a little less uncommon. The bridge tender building is mounted on the location where a tower most often was seen. Other noteworthy details include the riveted, built-up beams which support the wires on the bridge.
There are a few tanks of unknown purpose on this bridge. Two were seen laying on the deck, another wedged in the members of the truss web. It is unclear if these serve a purpose for the bridge (such as being filled with concrete and acting as counterweights) or if they are just a sign of a railroad owner who left them there and does not care about the appearance of their historic bridge.
This bridge is now abandoned, and the approach at one end has been converted for pedestrian use as a scenic outlook. The bridge has not swung closed for trains since March 2006.

This belongs to a series that I took during a Workshop for the Blind at Manila Zoo. Apparently, one of them is the third wheel. Guess who?
Governor Mike Parson’s Focus on Bridges program was established in 2019 and set out to repair and replace 250 of some of the worst bridges across state. Now, nearly 200 completed Focus bridges later, Gov. Parson visited the Southeast District to see some of the improvements firsthand. The event took place on Route 162 near Portageville, Missouri, which is the site of 3 Focus bridges. Two of the projects have been completed, and the third is currently underway. During the event, Gov. Parson and MHTC Commissioner Dustin Boatwright spoke about the importance of investing in infrastructure projects in rural areas and for underserved communities.
