Warrick County, Indiana

Description 

There appears to be the possible skeleton of an old pony truss bridge here--from the shadow, looks like a Warren truss, but hard to tell for sure. The flooring system may be present, but looks like the deck has been removed. This bridge has been abandoned for what appears to be a very long time...anyone know anything about this?

I found it but ended up with only one picture due to a camera problem, I'll try again after the leaves fall.

There are a ton of bridges listed for Warrick County in the Indiana SHAARD. https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/welcome.html sometimes the ones listed as "demolished" still exist. Maybe explore those listings and see if you find a match.
