New York Street Bridge (OLD)
Clark that photo looks like it goes to the island. The island did not extend up to New York Street until it was expanded in the 1960s. My guess is this is one of the other several bridges leading to the original part of the island. Probably the same builder provided more than one span for this city, accounting for the visual similarities.

The buildings have seemingly all disappeared but I think this photo may be the bridge on this page.

I guess more looking may give an answer. I just noticed the NY Street looks like a multi span. Great finials and portal bracing.
