Brewer Bridge, Historical bridge in Cherry County, United States
Brewer Bridge is a road crossing over the Niobrara River in Cherry County, Nebraska. It uses a Pratt through truss design made of steel and remains in use for vehicle traffic today.
The bridge was constructed in 1899 by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company of Canton, Ohio. It replaced an earlier structure called the Berry Bridge at the same location.
The bridge represents early American engineering methods and stands as a testament to the development of transportation infrastructure in rural Nebraska communities.
You can walk onto Brewer Bridge and enjoy open views of the river and the surrounding landscape. Visit during daytime to see the steel framework and structural details clearly.
This structure was one of only four bridges in Cherry County to survive the destructive ice flood of 1916. This rare resilience makes it a notable example of durable construction in the region.
