Driving across the George A "Tony" Ellis Memorial Bridge across the Tennessee River toward Gilbertsville, Kentucky, I was able to stop in the emergency lane, use my wide angle lens, and capture this image of the Paducah and Louisville Railway-New Kentucky Dam Bridge at sunset. The bridge is a Polygonal Warren through truss with all verticals built 2009 as a replacement for the railroad tracks across Kentucky Dam. It does my structural engineering heart and mind so much good to see something other than a standard (and boring) bridge design that is typically used for cost reasons.
In the background is the Luther Draffen Bridge, a pair of steel through arches on I-24.
