Description
AS of 3-29-14, it looks as though some deck work has been done, as some utility work has been done in the area as well, although the deck is still in pretty bad shape.
UPDATE; July 14, 2015; Bridge is gone, replaced by UCEB, had a hard time finding it because the maps all say this is CR800; it is actually CR700 per the road sign. Beyond the new bridge the road is pretty washed up.
