History
The Kentucky Route 2014 Bridge was constructed mostly by the Louisville Bridge and Iron Company; Phoenix Iron Company supplied the Phoenix columns used on the bridge, which were patented in 1862. The bridge was not structurally safe for some time prior to its replacement in 1993. It was found eligible for the National Register of Historic Places and only one of two constructed by the Louisville Bridge and Iron Company in Kentucky. The Route 2014 Bridge, when constructed in 1873, proved to be a large and good example of its construction.[1]
The bridge, which served people in rural areas around Pineville, was rated a 38.3 out of 100 points in a May 1, 1987, survey, which also included the 15-ton limit. A lot of the 70 historic bridges spread throughout Kentucky are either Pratt or Warren through trusses, the two most popular kinds of trusses.
