context_page_description: The Singing Bridge is a two-lane vehicle and pedestrian bridge in Frankfort, Kentucky that is so named because of the humming sound it makes when driven over. As of 2019, the bridge carries over 5,000 vehicles per day across the Kentucky River along St. Clair Street to Bridge Street, joining Downtown Frankfort with South Frankfort.
  The over-400 foot long bridge is a Pennsylvania truss bridge built in 1893 by King Bridge Company, and was rehabilitated in 1956 and in 2010. In 2020, the 125 year old bridge's load rating was reduced from 9 tons to 3 tons. The bridge originally carried U.S. Route 60 until that highway was rerouted over the nearby War Mothers Memorial Bridge.
  The bridge gets its name from the humming noise it makes as vehicles travel across its open-grate steel deck, which replaced a solid flooring in 1937.
