I would like to add: As an adult I would drive there just to see it again and to walk and explore again, from a new perspective. It was very shocking the first time I drive there and saw wthat someone had brought the property and gated it after the new highway went in. Now no one is able to even see the bridge without trespassing. This bridge is being lost to all of us that remember it and to those that could know it and use it, as one post said, as a walking path. I am even unable to show my children when my fondest memories are.
I grew up as a child swimming and jumping off of this bridge, called "Silver Bridge". My siblings and I could not wait to get here every weekend of the summer, our parents brought us camping. It is the fondest memories of my life.
While the listing above says "preserved", this is being kind. The bridge sits behind locked gates on private property now, and there is no attempt to "preserve" it. Rather it is more correct to say it is not "demolished". It would be nice if this bridge were accessable to the public for photography or pedestrian use, as part of a walking trail or something. I remember driving across it when it was open.
