The diagonals bear both compression and tension; the verticals are in tension and, also unlike the Pegram, are all perpendicular to the lower chord). Builder/Contractor: Indiana Bridge Company of Muncie, Indiana, at a cost of $5,465. Rehabilitation Date-1985. Inventory Number-1800036. GPS: 40.313010°N,-85.306540°W.
