Overview

The Old River Road Bridge is so old that its completion date is uncertain. However one can know for certain that is older than 1935! The new bridge, which is directly to the left of the old bridge if one is traveling west on River Road, was built as a replacement bridge in 1935. Anyone having more information and details about this bridge are welcome to leave comments.

Deck View (Eastern End)

The bridge, technically, is open to traffic. However, one can see that vehicles can only get onto the bridge from its eastern side. The western side is blocked off by the new bridge at a sharp angle.
