Summary
This steel pile bridge carries a two-track county road across the North Loup River a few miles northwest of Brownlee in rural south-central Cherry County. Consisting of a series of steel stringers, supported by steel piles, the bridge was erected in 1900 by the Wrought Iron Bridge Company. Since its construction, the Twin Bridge has carried intermittent traffic with only maintenance related repairs. The Twin Bridge is technologically significant as the oldest extant steel stringer vehicular bridge identified in the state.
