Bridge Documentation

This large multi-span through truss bridge was bypassed and abandoned in 1987. The main part of the bridge consists of a large Parker through truss span flanked by a smaller Camelback truss span on each end. Some other unknown approaches at the ends have been removed. Span counts given refer to the bridge as seen today.
