Reels Mill Bridge
Posted February 17, 2012, by Bob Smart (roads [at] monocacy [dot] com)

I question the date you have for this bridge. The current bridge was installed after Hurricane Agnes came through the Region in 1972. The approaches may date back further but this bridge is a standard 'Bailey Bridge' that was used 'en masse' to replace the many bridges lost due to Agnes that year
