Thompson Creek Bridge
Glad it was removed. Its condition was terrible according to pictures shown of it. To me, it looks as if it was "sat on". (hehehe) I love old truss bridges, especially ones kept up, and preferably free of demolition threats. This bridge was "left to ruin" unfortunately.
Thompson Creek Bridge
Based on the 2009 Google Earth imagary, this bridge no longer exists. Appears that the area has been cleared, maybe in preparation for a new bridge?
