The Lisco State Aid Bridge is located on a county road over the North Platte River, south of Lisco, Nebraska, near Rush Creek Ranch. Completed in 1928, the bridge today "is distinguished as an important crossing of the Platte River and one of the last two intact multiple-span state aid truss bridges" in Nebraska.[1]
