Notes
  • Significance: The Benson Street Concrete Bowstring Bridge is important because it may be the first example of a through bridge of this design to be built in America. It was constructed in 1909 (not 1920 as was once thought) and therefore predated James Barney Marsh's influential patent for a concrete bowstring by two years. Although designed by E.A. Gast, it actually may have inspired Marsh at the time when he was working on his own designs. Concrete bowstring bridges were not generally popular in America until about 1920. The bridge is listed as a "reserve pool bridge" in the Ohio Department of Transportation's Ohio Historic Bridge Inventory Evaluation and Preservation Plan.
