A few pictures taken February 3, 2010. The first picture is of the old Ghost Road going under the bridge. The second picture is of the original bridge, now abandoned, with the current span in the background. The fourth picture is of the original Ghost Road under the bridge that followed the East Fork of Tanners Creek from this point to the southeast for about seven miles, eventually ending at State Route 1 or Lawrenceburg/Brookville Road.
