Summary

Flowing west to east across nearly the entire width of Boyd County, Ponca Creek formed a troublesome barrier to intercounty traffic. As a result, most of the county's bridge budget historically has been directed toward erecting and maintaining Ponca Creek spans. Constructed in 1904, this forty-eight-foot pony truss, located near Lynch, is the only one of the earliest Ponca Creek bridges in the county that remains in its original location. The remainder have either been moved or replaced. As the oldest vehicular bridge in the county, and the most significant extant Ponca Creek span, this bridge enjoys a degree of historical significance.
