Jones Road Bridge

Pity. I'm guessing the same is true for the other two stored bridges from this county - Lowell Road and Monroe Road?

Wish I had better news, but its still in storage with no plans for reuse.

Out of curiousity - eight years later - is this one still in storage, or has it since been re-erected in a new (presumably pedestrian) location?

Pretty sure that is why Goodwin Road is missing some parts. People want the weight

If anyone wants to learn more about the relocation and storage of this bridge (along with many other historic truss bridges), you should contact Vern Mesler www.historicbridgerestoration.com and he should be able to help you. I know where the bridges are stored, but Vern would be the best person to contact. Even though these bridges are to be restored on public facilities for public use, we like to joke that they are "Vern's bridges"

If anyone does arrange to visit the storage facility for these bridges, I would ask that you not post photos or reveal the location online for the security of the historic bridge materials. Scrap steel thieves are becoming increasingly daring between a rough economy and rising scrap prices.

Nathan,

I remember this bridge very well. What are the odds of being able to get pictures of it in its disassembled state??

Listing this bridge as lost isn't exactly accurate. The entire bridge is simply in storage awaiting restoration.

That's a bribe that would have definitely worked on me, too--an alternate route to my childhood town carried us over a Parker through truss, while the main route carried us over the same river on a Warren pony truss--a winner either way!

I remember going across this bridge as a child. My mom ran a party store in the little village of Eagle just a few miles from this bridge. She use to bribe me to go help her on weekends. If I helped we would go across this bridge, or the one on Charlotte Hwy just outside of Portland
