Thanks, Luke.

I knew a bridge crossed where the lally column is, and it was a pretty safe guess as to the name of that bridge, but the only documentation I could cite was internet imagery and an old map with the landowner's name spelled "Ketcham". I therefore left a degree of uncertainty in the description.

Considering the pin is on a lally column, I'd say you found where the bridge used to cross.
