History
The Hendricks Ford Road Bridge is an abandoned bridge that carried Hendricks Ford Road over the Driftwood River in Bartholomew County, Indiana.
The two-span pinned double-intersection Pratt (Whipple) through truss was constructed in 1880 by the King Bridge Company. 3 It was later closed to through traffic as it was adjoining Camp Atterbury. By 2001, the bridge was only used by a local saddle club, which checks out the gate key from the military installation. 2
