The Mynard Road Bridge, now located near Ashland, Nebraska, is a historic {{Anchor|calculator}} Warren truss leg bedstead bridge that was built in 1900. It was probably built by J.R. Sheeley and Company, of Lincoln, Nebraska and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.{{cite web|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form, Bridge, NEHBS Number CCOO-214|publisher=U.S. Department of the Interior|url={{NRHP url|id=92000707}}|format=pdf|date=June 29, 1992|accessdate=August 26, 2014}} The {{convert|50|ft|adj=on}} Mynard Road Bridge was the longest of its engineering type remaining in the state of Nebraska when the historic inventory was done in 1992, and was still used for vehicular traffic at that time. The bridge was originally situated on the Maynard Road and was built to span an unnamed stream, {{convert|4.7|mi|abbr=on}} southeast of Louisville, Nebraska. In 2000, the bridge was relocated to be used as a pedestrian bridge at the Lee G. Simmons Conservation Park and Wildlife Safari.{{cite web|title=Wildlife Safari Bridge|publisher=Bridgehunter.com|url=http://bridgehunter.com/ne/cass/wildlife-safari/|accessdate=August 26, 2014}}
