Note the slight curve at the portal. It appears that the bridge should have been skewed, but wasn't.

Barrel Shot Looking West
Like the west approach, there is a slight turn in the east approach to the straight deck. Perhaps this bridge was meant to be skewed but wasn't. The highway makes a sharp 90º turn to the north about 250 yards to the west of the bridge.

Actually, it's a core sample taken from the deck and the plug has failed. This core was taken on the northeast end of the deck, a corresponding core was taken on the southwest end of the deck.

Construction Area Looking East
Utility poles have been moved about 200' south of the road, along the tree line. Trees have been removed from the area. This does not bode well for the future of this bridge, and indicates that the sharp curve (to the left, out of sight of this photo) is going to be softened.

FOUND!
This elusive bridge has been hiding from me for two years. One has to want to go to this bridge as it is about as far removed from anything as it can be and still be located in Wood County. This bridge reminds me of the Prairie River Bridge in Langlade County, also built in 1906, although that one appears more delicate than this one. Both are closed and remain well hidden. The Lynn Line Bridge does appear to be a haven for teenage activities of several kinds.

This is the south approach to the subject bridge. As you can see, this is not a heavily traveled thoroughfare.

Southwest Approach
In order to avoid a installing a skewed bridge, the road curves to the northwest, then to the northeast to cross the stream, then turns northerly to Lynn Line Road. Why one road has two names, a different name on each side of the bridge, is unknown.

Replaced? Ya think?
This looks like the result of a major urban renewal project, with streets rerouted, a sports/recreation/baseball complex enlarged and a new, long trestle built to replace the ancient wooden structure that used to cross Oak Street. As near as I can tell, Oak Street doesn't even exist here anymore with a ball diamond over the top of where it once was.

Pedestrian/Bike Path
Marshfield has miles of bike and walking trails all over the city. According to a Bing satellite image and a Bing Bird's Eye View, this recreation trail subway might be where the old Oak Avenue Bridge stood.
