Old Victory Bridge
Posted October 4, 2013, by BruceT (bh [at] vgacomputers [dot] com)

Visited the bridge 10/3/13 its closed off with fence along with a No Trespassing sign from the dept of transportation at the entrance. Closed to pedestrians. However There is a spot that the fence has been pulled back to gain access to the bridge for those who like to live dangerously.
