Description
The Dewlen - Spohnhauer Memorial Bridge is a four-span through arch over the Verdigris River on Old US 160 just east of Independence, Montgomery County, Kansas, still open to traffic on a paved frontage road. The bridge was built in 1926, but made obsolete by a new highway bridge in 1960. Also called the Verdigris Bridge, it was posted to the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 1983.
