Dodd Ford Bridge

The Dodd Ford Bridge is a bridge spanning the Blue Earth River about 1 mile (2 km) southwest of Amboy, Minnesota, in Blue Earth County, Minnesota. The bridge is a steel, pin-connected, nine-panel, overhead, Pratt-truss highway bridge. Constructed in 1901, it is among the state's earliest remaining e

xamples of the overhead Pratt type. The bridge also is significant for its association with Lawrence Henry Johnson, a prominent Minnesota bridge builder of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This bridge is one of only two authenticated surviving examples of Johnson's work.
