Flatrock River US 31 Bridge
This bridge no longer exists. It was taken out when US 31 was widened to four lanes. I thought Columbus was like about architecture and history or something. A new bridge could have been built parallel to this one. Columbus built the new cable stayed bridge over the East Fk. White river, so they could have built a new through truss parallel to this one. I'm sorry if I sounded selfish in the past sentence.
