The L & N Bridge was destroyed three times by Confederate forces during the Civil War. It was partially razed on Sept. 7, 1862, by troops under Col. John Hutcheson. During the occupation of Shepherdsville, on Sept. 28 Braxton Bragg's troops again destroyed it, but a new bridge was completed by Oct. 11. After the Battle of Elizabethtown, on Dec. 27, John Hunt Morgan's men moved along the tracks, destroying everything on the way to the trestle works at Muldraugh's Hill.
