South Fabius River CR 289
South Fabius River, head on view, western approach, 6 panel through truss. I guess the pairs of tensioning rods on both ends count as additional panels? My original look-see makes it appear as a 4 panel. As I recall this bridge had a bit of bounce to it as you drove or walked it. There was another pony truss straight ahead about 1/8th mile over a small feeder creek. I have some pics of it as well. I was actually killing weekend time at my in-laws and am glad I documented several Knox County bridges when I did, most are now gone, including ones I did not know about back then.
