The '''Hazen Bridge''', also known as the Newcomb Bridge, is a steel [[bridge]] spanning the [[Sangamon River]] north of [[Mahomet, Illinois|Mahomet]] in [[Champaign County, Illinois]], in the [[United States]]. It was constructed at a location known as White's [[Ford (crossing)|ford]], a popular crossing location of that era because of its proximity to Mahomet and Shiloh Church. The bridge was built in 1893 by Seevers Manufacturing Company of [[Oskaloosa, Iowa]] for the bid of $4,985. The name is derived from the Hazen family which owned property adjacent to the crossing. It was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1994 as structure #94000433.
