Larrick Park Bridge
Posted August 22, 2017, by Robert Elder (robertelder1 [at] gmail [dot] com)

I field visited this bridge today. It is still sitting in Larrick Park and it is becoming overgrown with small trees and Kansas Ditchweed.

For a Bedstead, it is MASSIVE. It also features rare threaded rod - nut connections with cast iron assemblies. This is an awesome bridge and is worth saving. I am glad that it was saved and moved here, even if the legs were removed.
