Overview

These days the Rothrock Mill Bridge is just "sitting pretty" in a field of grass next to the New Rothrock Mill bridge. The future prospects of this bridge is bright, though, because it is scheduled to be relocated, rehabilitated, and retrofitted into a pedestrian bridge according to the Corydon Democrat, a local newspaper.

Deck View

The joke is on you.....there is no deck! However, soon this bridge will have a brand new deck.

Old and New Together

This is quite a neat photo. One can note three things about this photo which are quite rare in the life of a bridge. 1. The new bridge (right center) can be seen with the old bridge (background). 2. The old bridge is not demolished, but is waiting to be taken to a new location and reused. 3. The old bridge's support abutments remain in place (foreground and left center).
