One  Mile  west  of  the  village  of  St.  Peters,  which  is  located  in  Franklin  county,  Indiana,  is  a  pretty  cool  piece  of  Indiana  history  hidden  back  in  the  woods.  As  you  travel  west  on  Pine  Road  you’ll  go  down  a  small  hill  where  you  cross  Blue  Creek.  Look  to  your  right  and  if  it’s  during  the  winter  when  the  vegetation  has  died  back,  you’ll  have  a  great  chance  at  seeing  the  former  Pine  Road  Bridge  built  around  1908. 

This  is  a  very  early  concrete  arch  bridge  and  for  being  over  110  years  old,  it’s  in  pretty  nice  shape.  Plus  the  local  property  owner  takes  great  care  of  it  making  sure  that  the  grass  in  the  former  road  bed  is  mowed  and  that  bushes  don’t  crowd  the  view  of  this  beautiful  piece  of  Indiana  transportation  history.

The  single  span  concrete  arch  bridge  is  about  50  feet  long  and  crosses  Blue  Creek.  As  mentioned  at  the  beginning  of  this  video  there  are  abandoned  bridges  like  this  in  almost  every  county  across  the  United  States.  The  best  time  to  spot  these  bridges  is  during  the  winter.  Take  a  drive  and  see  what  you  can  find!
