The Sulphur-Bedford Road Bridge, built in 1901, was abandoned in 1999 when a replacement span was constructed along the Little Kentucky River in rural Trimble County, Kentucky. The span has deteriorated substantially since its closing, and is not safe to cross by foot.

I can barely see any evidence of the roadway it formerly served.

Those stiffeners look shot, but swap em and add a new deck and this bridge could be a pedestrian bridge. It would easily cost $150,000 to rehab it though
