Stone Bridge Abutment

3D Model

This stone bridge abutment is constructed of dry-stacked limestone and currently supports a short bridge spanning a small tributary to the Salt River in Spencer County, KY. The portion captured in this model is the north abutment, view facing north northeast from the creek bed. The base of the abutment is approximately 3.5 m wide and extends up 2.7 m supporting the box beam and bridge deck above. According to local informants, the south abutment collapsed circa 2017. The base of the model is at water level which was low at the time of survey.
