Description
This bridge although lacking a needed paint job, is in excellent condition. It has some very interesting features including very unusual endposts that feature different slopes to compensate for a slight skew. The view of the creek to the East is very scenic, and another very nice Warren pony truss is just around a bend in the creek to the North (Allen #236) Full-Hip/Half-Hip Hybrid
