Mike, that's a wonderful piece of history to have. I am happy you saved it.
Here's one of the nameplates from this bridge on my fence in Danville IL. I was the Carpenter foreman on this bridge when we built the new bridge in 2002.This one I took down before we started demo. We shoved the old bridge off the abutments and let it fall below to cut it apart and the other nameplate was still attached, so needless to say it did not fair so well. When we looked over the hill it had broken in several pieces. My boss took all the pieces and put it back together and had it displayed in his yard.
Thank You, and believe me when I tell you it is very heavy!!
