On a more recent visit (October 2010), I noticed that there is a beam near the center of the bridge that has completely rotted, causing the bridge to sag. Despite this, there were some fresh tracks in the small dirt piles at each end, it appears that someone is still driving over this bridge, but they are really taking a risk by doing so. The road from the Payneville end is washing away in places, so use extreme caution if you choose to visit from that end. It is sad to see this bridge deteriorating--crossing it in the past was so much fun. In the past, repairs have been made as needed but these days that just doesn't happen in Sumter County, Alabama.
