(NS+WE)/NKP(W&LE) Bridge over Maumee River in Toledo, OH

(Archived Bridge HunterHistoric Bridges; Satellite)

"Pin-connected Pratt through truss bridge over Maumee River on Wheeling & Lake Erie RR" [Lucas County index for BridgeHunter]

The bridge is "1,315.0 Feet (400.8 Meters)" long and has a main span of "345.0 Feet (105.2 Meters)." [HistoricBridges]

It is surrounded by industry on both shores so I can't get a decent street view of it.
