One of the trusses crossing over railroads in Omaha is this structure.
Located near I-80 and 60th Street, this bridge was built in 1906. Built to cross the Chicago & North Western Railway tracks, the bridge features a main 5-panel, riveted Baltimore Through Truss.
This main span has a portal style typical of Union Pacific bridges. The main span is approached by a pair of deck girder spans on either side. The main sits on concrete substructures, while the approach spans have steel tower supports.
Overall, the bridge is in good condition. Unfortunately, the bridge crosses an abandoned opening, and is a possible candidate for being filled in.
The author has ranked this bridge as being moderately significant, due to the uncommon design and endangered status.
The photo above is an overview. The bridge can be accessed from the rail grade underneath.
