New Hope Bridge

New Hope Bridge, also known as Bartholomew County Bridge No. 133, is a historic Pratt through truss bridge spanning the Flatrock River at Columbus Township, [Bartholomew County, Indiana]. It was designed by the Caldwell & Drake ironworks and built in 1913. It consists of two spans, with each measuring 128 feet long. It rests on concrete abutments and a concrete pier.
The bridge is open to single-lane traffic along 400N in Bartholomew County which spans from U.S. [Route 31 in Indiana|U.S. Route 31] just north of Columbus, Indiana to Columbus [Municipal Airport (Indiana)|Columbus Municipal Airport], the former site of Bakalar [Air Force Base]. Because portions of 400N are low-lying the road and bridge are occasionally closed due to high water from the Flat Rock River.
New Hope Bridge was listed on the National [Register of Historic Places] in 1999.
