1868 Road/Eastern Kentucky Railway Bridge over Little Sandy River near Hopewell, KY

(no Bridge Hunter; B&TSatellite, some of the truss is covered by the trees)

No street view driver has gone down KY-3306.

Bridges & Tunnels posted three photos with the comment:
Truss bridges are becoming more rare in the state of Kentucky but this ornate example still lives on in Hopewell. Originally constructed in 1868 by the Phoenix Bridge Company of Pennsylvania for the Eastern Kentucky Railway, it was converted for roadway use in 1933 after the railroad ceased operations.
