Bridge Documentation

This is an impressive two span Parker through truss.

Bob Shephed and his brother Rick emailed HistoricBridges.org with additional information about this bridge: They report that the truss spans were relocated from Content Bridge (Tail Creek) after that crossing was rebuilt, sometime after Bob finished high school in 1976.
