Singing Bridge, Pennsylvania through truss bridge in Frankfort, United States
The Singing Bridge stretches 409 feet across the Kentucky River, connecting St. Clair Street to Bridge Street in downtown Frankfort with its steel construction.
Built in 1893 by the King Bridge Company of Cleveland, this structure replaced an earlier double-width covered bridge that served the growing Frankfort community since 1847.
The bridge earned its name from the distinct sound produced when vehicles cross its open-grate steel deck, installed during modifications in 1937.
Following structural assessments in 2019, the bridge's load limit was reduced to 3 tons, affecting the daily passage of over 5,000 vehicles between Downtown and South Frankfort.
The metal structure incorporates specialized engineering features from the Pennsylvania truss design, contributing to the National Register of Historic Places designation.
