Drone Flight including Bartlett Springs Rd Bridge Bridge pictures show in video at 0:42 seconds. craig philpott photography |
With the loss of the Lake Street Bridge and with the finding of this bridge, the old Bartlett Springs Road Bridge may well be the only remaining pin-connected through truss bridge in Lake County. Satellite images on Google maps show the bridge partially submerged and surrounded by the Indian Valley Reservoir, which helps protect it from the wildfires. However, this bridge does not deserve to be abandoned and forgotten. I wholeheartedly believe she deserves to be preserved, restored, and reopened for pedestrian usage.
Craig, is the road in decent shape or is it pretty bad from the recent weather? I'm assuming you came from the East.
The 99th mystery bridge takes us to California and the Springs. There, a through truss bridge, having been submerged since 1975, has revealed itself presenting a possibility to save it before the drought ends. Details here: https://bridgehunterschronicles.wordpress.com/2018/07/04/mys...
This bridge deserves to be preserved, restored, and reopened for pedestrian usage in Lake County, as she may well be its only surviving pin-connected through truss bridge.
weird to see something from indian valley out in the internets... that place is a world apart from anything even remotely internet related
A newly posted bridge in Lake County CA. Pretty cool find.
I stopped by yesterday. Access to the road on the South side has been fenced/gated not far from the new bridge, so the only place to see it from is the existing road (and the smaller road between the river and the existing road). I'd been hoping to be able to get closer than there.
