History
A contract for the Goose Creek Foot Bridge construction for US$4,500 was signed December 17, 1928.[3] It connects Court Street and Depot Street for pedestrians.[3] The 445 feet (136 m) long bridge has a five foot wide wooden plank walkway that connects the railroad depot to the town square. The bridge is 40 feet high at its highest point.[3][4]
One terminus of it is by the Old Greensburg City Hall, which was a Works Progress Administration building.[5]
The area below the footbridge has flooded, and a photo of the bridge was taken during the flooding, prior to construction of the Green River Dam.[6]
