Columbus Loup River Bridge
Columbus Loup River Bridge, carrying U.S. Highway 81 across the Loup River at the southern edge of Columbus, Nebraska; seen from the northwest (upstream). The Parker through truss bridge consists of seven trussed spans and two approach spans. It was built in 1932, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The bridge currently carries two lanes of southbound traffic across the river; a bridge of more recent date carries two northbound lanes. The leftmost, partially visible, pier, and the second-leftmost fully visible pier, belong to the new bridge; its shadow is visible on the ice behind that of the 1932 bridge.
