I thought this bridge dated from the 1890s but I guess not. Its right in the ghetto hardcore but its an awesome bridge, the arch is so friggen high. I bet its at a good 35 degree angle at its most, maybe more.

My kids love for me to drive across this bridge. Because the arch is so high, you can't see over it as you cross. For them it is so exciting and a bit scary!
