Bridge Documentation

This bridge no longer exists!

This historic bridge was demolished and replaced!

This beautiful bridge contains two spans... one eight panel span, 137 feet in length and one six panel span approximately 103 feet in length. The bridge is traditionally composed and retains good historic integrity. A replacement bridge has been under construction on new alignment next to this bridge. As such, this bridge is an excellent candidate for either abandonment or preservation in place next to its replacement. However, it is feared that shortsightedness will result in tax dollars being wasted on a pointless demolition following completion of the new bridge. There are abandoned bridge piers near to this bridge which were from a railroad bridge which was washed out by a flash flood in 1940.
