Little Blue Creek Bridge

Bridge road name has changed. Bridge is on 492nd St, sign right on the south end of it is fairly new. Bridge is East and slightly north of the other Little Blue Creek bridge posted. To find it on a map, Delorme and Garmin call the East/West road 1386N and the North/South road that the bridge is actually on 1415E. By road signs which appear fairly new, the East/West road is 240th ST, the North/South road is 492nd ST. Delorme does not show the 240th St connecting with 492nd ST, Garmin does. Approaching from the west on 240th there is a sign warning that the roads ends ahead, yet it goes through and there is no sign proclaiming the end. It is a rough road that dips and crosses through Little Blue Creek. Coming from the North on 492nd ST, there are no signs claiming an end. In the very corner where the two roads meet there is a fairly new road sign, for what it is worth.

Bridge is eesentially in a farmers field and probably used mainly for tractors to get from one field to another. They were cutting cornstalks and blowing them into a truck while we were there, using the bridge to drive the truck over and turn around at a gate to head back and align with the tractor for another pass down the field.
