"New" Old Broadwell Mill Road Bridge
The paint job on this one makes it look like it was built from an Erector set.

This is pretty awesome: This bridge, the replacement bridge, is a truss and not a ugly concrete stringer. Also, the old bridge has been preserved and relocated nearby to be used as a pedestrian bridge and historical exhibit.
