Ninabuck Road Bridge, Spanning Crawfish River, Danville, Dodge County, WI

Significance: The Ninabuck Road Bridge is a single span, single lane, Pratt through truss that was erected in ca. 1907. Although it was not identified as a significant structure in Cultural Resource Management in Wisconsin (the state's cultural resource management plan), the crossing is one of thirty-three, pre-1912 bridges identified by the state's Historic Bridge Advisory Committee during the early 1980s. Fewer than twenty of these bridges remain today. Therefore, with its integrity generally intact, the Ninabuck Road Bridge is significant as a good and increasingly rare example of a late nineteenth/early twentieth century Pratt through truss in Wisconsin, as well as the only extant example of its kind in Dodge County.
