Kelley Street Bridge
Posted July 6, 2007, by Alan Chapman (alan-chapman [at] sbcglobal [dot] net)

This bridge was closed down with the purpose of not being opened ever again about 2 months ago. The small one that went over the little branch(there's actually 2 bridges here, one right after the other) had structural damage that they said would cost too much to repair(they had done some work on it a few years ago). They even closed off the walking part of it. They are suppose to build a new bridge up stream (just downstream of where the Dewitt bridge is that has been closed down for several years) in about 2009. Yep, right now there are 3 bridges closed over Joachim in DeSoto(July 2007)
