Milton-Madison Bridge, Truss bridge between Milton and Madison, United States.
The Milton-Madison Bridge spans 3,184 feet across the Ohio River, connecting the states of Kentucky and Indiana with two traffic lanes and a pedestrian walkway.
Originally constructed in 1929 by J.G. White Engineering Corporation at a cost of $1.3 million, the bridge operated with tolls until their removal in November 1947.
The bridge forms a vital connection between rural communities in Indiana and Kentucky, supporting daily transportation needs for residents of both states.
The structure carries US Route 421 and accommodates approximately 10,000 vehicles per day, serving as the only crossing point for 26 miles upstream and 32 miles downstream.
In 2014, engineers replaced the entire bridge structure using an innovative sliding technique, moving the new 16,000-ton span laterally into position.
