Nokasippi River Bridge
Posted October 1, 2010, by Matthew Lohry

The satellite view on Google Earth shows that this bridge has been gone at least since 2008. Street view shows a dead end sign at its intersection with CR2, confirming the status. The bridge was removed, but no replacement was built. This was the last remaining truss bridge in Crow Wing County.
