Fink-Type Truss Bridge
Fink-Type Truss Bridge, Iron truss bridge in Hunterdon County, United States.
The single-span through truss bridge measured 100 feet in length, 15 feet in width, and 19 feet in height over South Branch Raritan River.
The Trenton Locomotive and Machine Manufacturing Company constructed this bridge in 1857, following Albert Fink's patented design from 1854.
The structure represented a major advancement in American engineering, as iron truss bridges enabled the rapid expansion of railways across the United States.
After its collapse in 1978, the bridge remains were moved to the Hunterdon County Government Center for preservation and documentation purposes.
The bridge utilized an innovative system of multiple diagonal members projecting down from the top posts at various angles without requiring a lower chord.
