This is a 15 shot panoramic image. Taken from Mckee Creek, feet wet (boots on), about 25 yards upstream. Next visit, I'm getting a bit closer. Images taken with Fujifilm S4430 Ultrazoom camera. This type camera is also appropriately called a 'bridge' camera, because it fills the gap between a point & shoot and a DSLR.

This was taken the morning after a huge storm hit West Central, IL. The light was really great! If you look down the LH side, middle of the bridge you'll see a large tree & limb is jammed up thru the railing and lodged against the bridge. I have been back recently.

South Approach taken from above
Deck is in reasonable condition, but likely not original. Bridge essentially sets slightly above the ground atop a ditch that is actually served by a 24" tube culvert. Bridge moved here from elsewhere, though unknown location. Probably one of many canal bridges on either side of the North Bottom Rd? Speculation on my part. Perhaps we can get the history from the Fairgrounds Old Tyme Assn.
