In 1914, C&O completed a new, longer bridge that did not need a tunnel and that reduced the curvature of the route. The road bridge and tunnel on this map were the original railroad route.

Bridges & Tunnels by Sherman Cahal
posted four photos with the comments:
Kentucky is a state with few 19th-century historic trusses remaining in its statewide bridge inventory, and the eastern half of the state has very few original roadway trusses remaining in general. That’s why it was surprising to come across fairly rare King Bridge Company trusses with Phoenix columns in Walbridge, Kentucky.
Bridges & Tunnels by Sherman Cahal shared
with the comment: "A former railroad alignment south of Louisa, Kentucky, has been reused for a state and county road."

As expected, the original railroad bridge is pin connected.
