Notes
  • Significance: The Peevy Road Bridge is an outstanding and exceptionally well-preserved example of a Pratt through truss by the Dayton, Ohio based Columbia Bridge Works. It exemplifies a number of innovations advanced by its key designer, engineer David H. Morrison. Although Morrison is best known for his patented designs for the bowstring truss, his inventive approach to bridge design permeated even the more conventional structures erected by his company. These innovations include extensive early use of I-beams, as well as distinctive "hollow cylinder" verticals and "flat bar" lower chords.
