Stone Quarry Bridge

The Stone Quarry Bridge is a historic Pratt truss bridge which carries Township Road 1000N across the Embarras River in Coles County, Illinois, near Charleston, Illinois. The bridge is a double-intersection Pratt truss bridge, a variant of the Pratt truss in which the diagonal supports cross multiple panels; it is the only bridge of its type in the county. It is 180 ft long, and its eastern and western portals are 14 ft and 16 ft high respectively. Built in 1883 by the King Iron Bridge Company, the bridge is the oldest truss bridge in the county as well as the oldest bridge in the county which is still open to traffic.

It is named for its propinquity to the Charleston Stone Company quarry.

The bridge was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1981.
