The
Nebraska Department of Public Works contracted
Western Bridge and Construction Company to begin construction on the Lisco Bridge in October 1927, several months after the company completed the nearby
Lewellen State Aid Bridge. One of eight bridges designed by the Nebraska engineer's office using multiple-span
Pratt pony trusses, the bridge featured eight spans that range from 60 to . The bridge measures long and is wide, and is supported by concrete
abutments and
piers. Built for $47,600, Western used steel fabricated by the Inland Steel Corporation and completed the project over the winter season. Originally part of the
U.S. 6 highway system, the Lisco Bridge now carries a county road. ==See also==
