Indiana built the bridge and charged tolls until July 1, 2014. [ArchivedBridgeHunter comments and indot]
The 2,400' (731.5m) long bridge has a main span of 427' (130.1m). [HistoricBridges]
It is so nice to see a steel bridge with a fresh coat of paint.

This is where the arch part of the truss launches from a pier.

This is a view of the entire bridge. I dropped a pin to mark the west end. I could still see the east end after zooming out far enough to include the whole bridge because of the shadow on a field
