Description
It was a beautiful but foggy day along the Ohio River at the bridge in Madison, Indiana. As soon as the fog lifted enough for the fishermen to safely leave the dock, they all zoomed quickly under to bridge to make up for the lost time.
Part of the Ohio River Scenic Byway, the Madison-Milton Bridge, AKA Harrison Street Bridge, is US Route 421 crossing the Ohio River between Madison, Indiana, and Milton, Kentucky.
The first bridge was constructed in 1928-29 and was a 20-foot wide metal truss bridge. Built as a toll bridge, drivers paid 45 cents and walkers 5 cents to cross it. In 1947 it finally became a free bridge.
In 2012-13, a new 40-foot wide bridge was assembled on barges and lifted into place on temporary piers before being slid onto the original ones. The new bridge won awards for its unique construction.
