Description
Another bottleneck to get past, you had to make sharp turns to pass under the bridge as SR 124 switched from one side to the other of track. Deck and girders removed but Concrete abutments remain. Area completely bypassed by new SR 124 alignment. Very Low clearance for road traffic with tight turns to pass under. Once beautiful concrete supports on either side of roadway beside abutments, now eyesore abandoned to North of current highway alignment.

I remember some very brave school bus drivers maneuvering under this thing... It was narrow and short and had very tight turns on both ends. I know I have some photos of the underpass when it was still intact somewhere.
