==Summary==
In Nebraska, the pinned Pratt through truss was the bridge of choice for medium-span applications in the early 1900s. Most of the structures erected during this period consisted of single spans, but a number of multiple-span trusses - such as the Republican River Bridge, constructed in 1911, and the North Loup Bridge in Valley County - were built over the wider crossings. However, almost all of these early bridges have since been replaced or substantially altered. A regionally important crossing in southern Nebraska, the Republican River Bridge, located near Riverton, is technologically significant as a well preserved example of this now uncommon vehicular bridge type.
