Barnes Kingpost Truss

Posted July 19, 2008, by Todd (hippiewalk_yahoo [dot] com)

Any GOLF COURSES out there interested??????

I just browzed through several pics of abandoned, closed, and "adoptable" bridges on this site. I truely think some of them could be reused as not only foot bridges. Yes lots of historic spans HAVE turned into elegantly restored foot bridges. Another use for a historic bridge could be the golf course. One or more old bridges could saved by converting them into passageways for golf carts. This idea could give life to many historic bridges as the ruthless UECB continues to "spoil" our countyside.

This bridge has been relocated to Barnes, Kansas and is located immediately south of K-9 Highway.
