It’s not hard to understand why Phil Anderson, Carmel, finished his quest to check out every dot on the Indiana map. He visited over 2,000 Indiana towns, completing his mission in November 2016 in Friendship. Along the way, he took hundreds of pictures.

That wasn’t hard to do, Anderson says. Once you get off the main roads and get into the hinterlands, you’ll find lots of interesting things to capture in pictures.

One of those is the feature for this edition of Travel Indiana. Anderson snapped this photo while on one of his side trips on roads less traveled.

Stately structure
Identify this structure, either by name or location, and you will be eligible for a gift certificate drawing. In case you need some help, here are a few details about the structure.

• It’s over 2,300 feet long and 150 feet tall, and it’s the longest bridge of its type in the world. At least that is what the Greene County, Ind., official tourism website says.

• It crosses a scenic area known as Richland Creek Valley.

• Locals often refer to it as “the viaduct.”

• The structure was completed in 1906, using primarily Italian immigrant labor hired by the local company commissioned to build it. The project cost just under $250,000. In today’s dollars, that would be roughly $20 million!

• The Indiana Railroad Co. still uses it today.
