This bridge is notable for two reasons, not only do my aunt & uncle live a few hundred feet from the site of the old bridge, but I also lost a cousin there in 1977, he was driving southbound in his coaltruck when a spring broke and the truck slammed into the side of one of the trusses(it was a 2-truss bridge), he died at the scene, died very terribly and was only 30-31 y/o at the time. I am glad this bridge has been replaced and I do not miss it, the bridge and the old roadway were hazardous. As for the new bridge and road they're right in front of my aunt & uncle's house, as for why that's another story.
