The Lincoln Highway Bridge at Fort Wayne crosses a river on a long concrete arch structure. A decorative parapet with pylons runs along the bridge, and two small rowboats with figures float on the water below. On the far bank, a domed building and brick blocks stand under a sunset sky. The Lincoln Highway, dedicated in 1913, was the first coast-to-coast automobile road in the United States; its route through Fort Wayne placed the bridge on an early motor-travel corridor across Indiana.
