Wabash River Bridges Near Covington Highlight Regional Ties
Historical notes describe four costly Wabash River bridges built 1905-1906 within seventeen miles of Covington. Most spans cost over four million dollars in modern terms, with the Shawnee River Bridge near Shawnee mouth in Warren County costing about $60,000. The Attica Bridge Company, Fountain County’s major contractor, supplied steel spans and concrete bases for the 800 foot long structure with lengthy approaches, and the article advocates Fountain County funding or joint completion to ease intercounty rivalries and boost utility, pride, and economy.
