High School Road Interurban Bridge
Location: At High School Road, 250' north of Kentucky Avenue. To get there, take I-465 to Kentucky Ave (SR 67), go south to the first stoplight. The bridge abutment is visible to the north. You can park at the BP/McDonald's.
History: Part of the Indianapolis and Martinsville Rapid Transit, built in 1901/03, from Indianapolis to Martinsville via Mooresville. The line was leased to Terre Haute, Indianapolis, and Eastern in 1907. The line was abandoned October 31, 1930. The adjacent railroad was the Pennsylvania Road's Indianapolis & Vincennes line, now Indiana Southern.
What's left: Most of the I&MRT line in Marion County has been destroyed by the multi-lane Kentucky Ave. However, at the intersection with High School Road, Kentucky Ave bows south, out away from the railroad and interurban, so this section of the interurban has not been disturbed by the highway. Still existing are the southwestern abutment/culvert over High School Road and a branch of the Little Dollar Hide Creek, a length of grade and right-of-way, and a deteriorated culvert farther southwest.
