CGW - Cedar River Bridge (Otranto, New)
Description
Just north of the remaining piers from this bridge are two large objects in the river channel that look like failed piers from an older bridge. It would appear judging by their close proximity and similar span length that there was an older girder bridge at this location, which was subsequently replaced.
