CR 319 Bridge
Posted September 26, 2021, by Neil Krout (kickinpony [dot] 66 [at] gmail [dot] com)

A bridge that isn't a bridge, anymore. The actual bridge has been replaced by a culvert, but the North and South vertical piers for the bridge rails remain, as do the bridge rails. As you can see in my pics, the cross-beams have been removed from the underneath side of the truss rails. I think this is an interesting way of preserving a piece of the past.
