North Fork Coal Creek Bridge

Posted March 27, 2007, by Tom Hall (thomas [dot] hall [at] ffni [dot] com)

This bridge would appear to be another built by Attica Bridge Company, thought there was no plaque identifying it. The portal bracing and other features are the same as those on CR 230E Bridge, which does have a plaque.
