Lower Ledges Road Bridge
Posted September 8, 2011, by Luke Harden (lmharden [at] iastate [dot] edu)

There are two bridges in the [ark that are steel stringer and the only thing different between them is the deck width so I'm guessing which one is which for the entries, but both of the bridges NBI data is added to the site.
