Casselman River Bridge
I drove over this bridge on 4/8/09, so the rehab must be complete!
Casselman River Bridge
8/31/08 US-40 is closed in order to rehab the bridge. This photo taken from the magnificent stone arch on the Cumberland Rd. That's I-68 in the background. 3 generations of bridges cross the river here.
