The Army still controls the land to the West and has the bridge gated at the East portal to keep people out. I'm more worried about trees falling on it than the government tearing it down. I wish they would decommission that section and deed it to the state as part of Atterbury Fish & Wildlife Area. It could then be restored and join these other 2 beauties!
Aside from the fact that this one is a Whipple, it sure has some awesome portal bracings. Being in Indiana, it should be safe from demolition, I hope.
Summer picture of this one are rather difficult as the area is usually pretty overgrown. I haven't been down there in a few years however.
Does anybody have any summer or spring pictures?
We use to jump off this bridge and swim during the summer.
It would be nice to see this one restored, if not for traffic then at least for trail use. I suppose it would require the military turning the bridge over to local control, and I'm not sure how easy that would be to get accomplished.
I would love to see someone fix the bridge up and make it usable for vehicles again , but i am keeping my fingers crossed as to when it will be done and when it can be usable

Is this bridge accessible or is it in a restricted area of Camp Atterbury?
