The Neligh Mill Bridge

With the establishment of the Neligh Mill and the platting of the town of Neligh, a crossing of the Elkhorn River here aided farm-to-market commerce. This bridge, built in 1910, replaced an earlier span at this location. It is a pin-connected Pratt through truss, a mainstay of early Nebraska wagon bridges. It serves as a reminder of bridges’ importance to the development of Nebraska towns, commerce, and industry. The bridge is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
