Bridge Entryway

I found this bridge via Google Earth satellite and was actually expecting it to be much bigger!

Structure Damage

The bridge was already posted on the website here and it was already listed in really poor condition and now we can all see why!

Bridge Deck

Next to grate bottoms, wood is by far my favorite! As you can see a few boards need replacing!

This is the best view for seeing how small the bridge is, but it is very old and has done its job! Now if only people would stop flying over it, it might last a bit longer!
