Located a mile south of Du Bois, the Cincinnati Bridge spans the Big Nemaha Rivers South Fork in a rural Pawnee County setting that has changed little since the structure's period of significance. The bridge's floor system is somewhat deteriorated, but the structure is otherwise intact. The Cincinnati Bridge today retains an extraordinary degree of integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association for a span of its vintage. - NRHP, 15 May 1992
