Description

This bridge leads to a single farm site at the top of the hill on the west. That farm is gone but the area is mown and there's a machine shed and deer stand. I suspect the daily traffic is much less than the 25 shown. It looks like there is occasional truck and tractor traffic and the 4 ton weight posting doesn't preclude light agricultural use.
