Bridge has been replaced for a couple years now.

This one is currently being replaced! The new bridge is nearing completion on a new alignment 100 feet or so up-stream. I'm sure the old bridge will be demolished once the new bridge is open. If you want to see this bridge, GO NOW!!

The old bridge is rather long, and very narrow, which is why it is being replaced. There is little traffic though.
