Hillman Bridge – Americana Collection

Rusted riveted lattice connections tie the top steel to the angled uprights of the Pratt Truss designed Hillman Bridge over the Suwannee River in Ellaville, Florida. Built in 1925-1926 by the RHH Blackwell Company to connect Madison and Suwannee Counties, the 916 foot bridge was abandoned sixty years later. The former US Route 90 bridge is now an artifact in the Suwannee River State Park.
