Rose Creek Bridge
Posted May 13, 2007, by Robert L. Elder (Bass-tbn [at] ku [dot] edu)

I am not certain how to clasify this pin connected pony truss. This does appear to be a variation on the Bedstead design, similar to others in Republic County. Note that the diagonal members on this bridge appear to interesect three vertical members.
