The Elkhorn River Bridge, located on a township road over the Elkhorn River, 3 miles east of Clearwater, Nebraska, was built in 1883 at cost of $2,050. Also known as Singing Bridge, it is designated NEHBS Number APOO-3. It is a Bowstring through arch truss bridge. It was built by King Iron Bridge Co. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
It was moved about {{convert|5|mi|km}} to its present location in about 1929, and replaced the former Krumm Bridge there. It has locally become known as the "Singing Bridge" because of sound made when driven over.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=92000771}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Elkhorn River Bridge / Singing Bridge; Krumm Bridge; NEHBS Number APOO-3 |publisher=National Park Service|author=Clayton B.
