Morgan Road Bridge
Yeah it looks like the coordinates are off a bit J.P.
This is one I didn't know was in Jefferson Proving Grounds. Apparently there is the Gale Bridge(through truss) and 3 ponies all on the grounds. It would be nice to have someone on the inside that could get some pics!

actually you can get into the jefferson proving grounds. you have to sit through a course at the entrance on safety, which im sure is the many reasons why you dont play with the unexploded war head. But im thinking about taking a day and going out there and checking it out. Im curious if i will be able to access the bridges
