Paynes Mill Pony Truss Bridge, Versailles, Kentucky

Sometime during the 1800s a covered bridge spanned the South Elkhorn Creek on Paynes Mill Road. In 1900 that bridge was replaced with a steel pony truss bridge. In 1994 that bridge was removed and replaced with a concrete slab. The side trusses of the former pony truss bridge were reattached to the concrete slab to give it a more decorative/historic look.

Unfortunately I was unable to locate any photos of the covered bridge or of the original pony truss bridge before it was demolished in 1994. If you have photos of the original pony truss bridge or remember driving across it, please leave a comment below.
