Located in downtown Shelbyville, Kentucky, this abandoned bridge is hidden amidst trees and terrain. Hiding with it is a strange secret, that it is unlike any other bridge in the state of Kentucky. How so? Its a relic of World War Two, a portable Bailey Bridge, designed to be installed by combat engineers in the middle of a battle. How it got here is unclear, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
