Another UCEB I crossed while making a delivery. I saw the 1972 plaque and looking at the area it looked like it could have been a two span thru truss. From what Melissa posted it turned out I was right. Man, an 1878 Whipple truss! That had to have been quite a bridge at time of construction. Too bad it had to take too many beatings from heavy vehicles. The gates have to be to close the road during flooding cause the area on both sides look like a flood area.
Given that the bridge that this page is about was removed in 1972, I'm hardly surprised that it was replaced by a UCEB.
I drove over this bridge this very morning. There is nothing but a modern slab-type road bridge. In there is a permanent gate with a sign that when closed indicates the road is closed. Today it was open but as the creek rises someone must come by and close it.

Thanks Tony !
What a neat bridge! And she's mapped!!
I would appreciate any help in mapping this.
Tom, I wish I had better photos of this bridge. I'm sure it was beautiful in its prime.
