I wish I had time when I was here to try to figure out how to get closer to this bridge, as it looks like a very impressive structure. Unfortunately, all I have is an overview photo taken with heavy zoom. I mainly put this on the website just to let people touring the area that this cool bridge is here. If someone does get closer shots of this bridge and is willing to let me post them, let me know.
