Description
Closed railroad bridge over Hurricane Creek. It is owned by the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers. It is surrounded by private and federal property. NO TRESPASSING!! I had permission from the owner to go on his property and take pictures. There are also 2 pillars standing just south of the bridge that used to carry another bridge. This bridge was spared by the tornado, but the road leading up to this area goes straight through several mile long path of destruction. This bridge was originally supposed to be accessible for the people of the neighborhood, but the corp of engineers put a stop to that due to safety concerns. There is actually a sign at the entrance to the neighborhood that has a picture of the bridge as part of the advertisement. Despite the change of plans, the sign still has a picture of the bridge on it.Facts
