Good time to post a picture as this bridge will be no more in 2009. It may be gone already as it was closed on December 9, 2008. The official name is the Jinkenson Bridge and it will be replaced by the fall of 2009. I guess it was inevitable, what with all the traffic generated by the new city park and the sports complex along it, as well as some new houses. Culp Lane needs upgrading as it is hazardous and narrow in spots. People were for the most part courteous when you had meeting traffic prior to crossing the bridge, as whatever vehicle was further from the bridge would stop to let the closer one cross. At least, that is the experience I usually had. But it served its purpose for many, many, years!
