Bridge Documentation

This extremely long bridge is so long that it includes two bascule spans, which is very unusual. The bridge was closed for rehabilitation when the photos were taken. This, coupled with the long approaches of the bridge, makes this a very difficult bridge to photograph. This bridge is parallel to a railroad bridge that is often described on the Internet as being very old but when inspected by HistoricBridges.org, appeared to be composed of all-modern materials.
