Summary
In 1910 the Antelope County Commissioners ordered a 140-foot, pinned Pratt through truss from the Western Bridge and Construction Company of Omaha to replace an existing aging bridge over the Elkhorn River. Western Bridge built the steel cylinder piers and completed the truss by May 1910. The Neligh Mill Bridge has carried traffic since, in essentially unaltered condition. The Neligh Mill Bridge accrues a degree of significance and site integrity for its association with and proximity to the Neligh Mill complex. Located at the southern periphery of Neligh, this crossing has proved to be regionally important as the first bridge in the county over the Elkhorn River and reportedly the first bridge over the river west of Norfolk that served to link the north and south halves of Antelope County.
