The Bernadotte Bridge at Bernadotte, built in 1910[2], is one of nine metal highway bridges in Fulton County, Illinois listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This particular one along Illinois Route 2 as it passes in and around Smithfield, Illinois. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 29, 1980, along with the eight other bridges, as one of the "Metal Highway Bridges of Fulton County".[1] The bridge is one of three[3] near Smithfield listed on the Register, the others are the Buckeye Bridge (now demolished)[3] and the Tartar's Ferry Bridge. A fourth bridge near the Smithfield was included on the Register but removed in 1996, following its 1995 destruction.[4][5]
