The Chenault Phantom Bridge, Danville, Kentucky

This bridge was constructed in 1924 by the F.K. Ketler Company of Chicago, Illinois. They started operations in 1924 so this must have been one of their first projects. The company is still in business today. The bridge is 547 feet long and spans the Dix River. It was rehabbed in 1961 and closed to all traffic in 2016 due to serious issues with the deck. When it was open it served about 630 vehicles a day but now it just sits abandoned. Another piece of history slowly fading away.
