Notes
  • Significance: The South Street Bridge is an unusual, long span metropolitan bridge comprising thirteen concrete spans and two steel truss spans. While the concrete spans are representative, the trusses are unusual examples of a nonproprietary truss type designed by John E. Greiner and fabricated by the American Bridge Company. The trusses are formed with vertical endposts, diagonals in Pratt configuration, polygonal topchords, and unusual decorative portals.
