Visited here afternoon of 8-18-2018 following a funeral in Hartsburg, for wife's aunt. Bridge is still here, easily accessible by 'blacktop' 1 mile off main road. From the north end you have to beat your way thru the summer over growth on Sugar Creek overflow pony truss. Bridge is very solid but you can see thru the holes in the deck that many of the smaller beams are severely compromised by rust. Didn't get my normal allotted time to explore and photograph because my wife was with me and kept honking the horn! Have other relatives nearby so I hope to come back again. Only took about 25 pics vs normal 125+. Still this is a neat relic to visit.
