Laughery Creek Bridge
Thought this pic would be good to add. The bridge closed sign on Old S.R. 56 to the Laughery Creek Bridge. Also attached is a picture of the deck of bridge taken on Febuary 16th, 2008. It still seems to be in pretty good condition!
Laughery Creek Bridge
Just a note on the description of this bridge. It is over Laughery Creek, not a branch of it. Thanks
