Lincoln Memorial Bridge, Road bridge between Vincennes, Indiana and Lawrence County, United States.
The Lincoln Memorial Bridge spans across the Wabash River with reinforced concrete construction and open-spandrel deck arch design, extending 1,065 feet in total length.
The bridge marks the location where Abraham Lincoln and his family crossed the Wabash River during their migration from Indiana to Illinois in 1830.
Two granite pylons at the bridge entrance display relief sculptures of Native American leaders Tecumseh and The Prophet, created by French artist Raoul Josset.
