angeline Road Bridge is a historic Camelback Through Truss bridge that spans the Wabash River in Huntington Township, Huntington County, Indiana. It was built in 1913 by the Lafayette Engineering Co. of Lafayette, Indiana. It consists of two steel truss spans, each 128 feet long and 21 feet deep at mid-span.[2]: 5
The Rangeline Rd. Bridge is the only known Camelback survivor from the earlier or later part of the Lafayette tradition. Camelback through trusses have become threatened and are endangered in Indiana. Thirty-three highway Camelbacks existed in 1987 and only nineteen had survived by the end of 1995. The site of the Rangeline Rd. Bridge is rich with history and serves as a reminder of human accomplishments as well as failures.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
