Eggner's Ferry Bridge, Former Parker truss bridge in Marshall County and Trigg County, United States.
The steel bridge stretched more than 1000 meters across Kentucky Lake, featuring four Parker through truss spans and two Pratt truss end sections.
Opening on March 25, 1932, the bridge required modifications in 1943 to accommodate the rising water levels caused by Kentucky Dam construction.
The structure connected communities across Kentucky Lake, enabling students to reach Murray State University and residents to access Kenlake State Resort Park.
The bridge carried US Route 68 and Kentucky Route 80 traffic until 2016, when engineers replaced it with a modern four-lane tied-arch structure.
A cargo vessel collision in January 2012 destroyed a 322-foot section, leading to emergency repairs that cost 7 million dollars.
