Jason,
Thanks for the fill-in on the history of this bridge, both with its portal bracing and the overall structure in general. I was unaware of the bridge's history, only knowing that it was originally built in 1877 somewhere near Sauk City and relocated three times since...they did a nice job with the duplication of the original bracing. It would have been nice to include the curved knee braces too.
