Laughery Creek Bridge
Laughery Creek Bridge, Triple Whipple truss bridge in Dearborn County, United States
The Laughery Creek Bridge extends 300 feet across the water with a single-span, pin-connected design incorporating three intersection points in its structure.
The Wrought Iron Bridge Company completed this engineering structure in 1878 after the previous wooden bridge collapsed into the river that same year.
The bridge transformation from vehicle passage to pedestrian crossing reflects the local dedication to maintaining engineering landmarks for future generations.
Located south of Aurora near State Road 56, this restored structure connects Dearborn and Ohio counties through a 17-foot-wide walkway.
This structure stands as the last triple-intersection Whipple through truss bridge remaining in the United States, featuring its original metal framework.
