I was just here and at the Otter Creek Covered Bridge this past Saturday and noticed the brand new signs. I was actually surprised that they weren't already listed. The Friendship Stone Arch Bridge was the other structure included. Now the Cavehill Road truss bridge and concrete arch bridge, along with several other stone arch spans, need to also be listed.
