Jellys Ferry Road Bridge
I just posted a link for the "bridge replacement project" documents for this bridge. The introduction to the document includes the historical construction date of existing bridge as, 1949.

This bridge is older than 1949 There is a picture on the internet that shows water going over it 1940.

Wow! This is the first time I ever looked up a bridge because I thought I may not survive crossing it. I thought it must be much older than 1949.

The original bridge was blown up in the late 80's or early 90's, and a new one was built next to the original location. The new one is the one in need of replacement, not the one built in 1949, which no longer exists.. Maybe it was meant to say 1994. My parent's lived at the mobile home park right there and we watched it all happen.
