Plaque shown in photo is a Vincennes BC plaque and is suggestive of other spans they built around 1910.
It says "posted in 2012", not "taken in 2012"
Something confuses me. The photo says that it was taken in 2012. Yet when I time-travel in street view, It was not there in 2007.
A mistake, perhaps?
I believe the bridge you are talking about was out by McDonalds elevator.
Was there, or was there not, talk or rumor of police reports being filed due to criminal, abusive, possibly murder(s) taking place on this bridge?
I'm thinking one act was against a teenager, female, and a ward of the State. I believe her first name was Diane or Diana. Her last name may have been Rivers.
A mysterious case that was never solved, that I'm aware of.
Thank you,

Here is a picture of the old Oak Hill Cemetery Bridge. I crossed this bridge many times growing up. At one time, there was a picture of it at the Christian County Historical Society museum as well. It's a shame it was destroyed. I don't remember if the street was named Cherokee back then or not. We always just called it the Cemetery Bridge Road. I miss this bridge!
There was also a bridge like this one that crossed that same section of the south fork about a mile on southwest on the Nokomis Road/Shumway Co Hwy 1. It was removed probably close to 40 years ago. I remember crossing it as a child. At one time you could see the old abutments and peers, but from the view on google maps, all the trees and underbrush have taken over. I wish someone could locate some information and a picture of that bridge too.
Oh, ok.
