Verified during opersonal visit today 1/1/10 that this bridge is closed with piles of large gravel blocking access at each end. I had been advised a couple of months back that this bridge was closed, so it appears to have been this way for a time now. Today there were stakes approx 50 yards to the South that I believe may indicate preparations for a replacment bridge.

Photo 7: West Abutment, from north side. 2x12's for unknown reason, maybe a repair prior

Photo 8: Under west end decking on approach. Appears to have metal deck with concrete poured on top. 2x12's mixed in, but not secured very long term.

Spring River CR 2130 Bridge

CR2100 Bridge, located at the intersection of CR2130 and CR1105.

I did not remember to verify GPS location while there, but the tracking on my GPS shows tht it would be at 37 5.308 93 52.104. I believe that what is currently posted is very close.

I was able to get under the west end and take a photo of the abutment. Not sure what the 2x12's ar for, as the steel beams seem to be sitting solidly on the concrete. Maybe they were used for a redecking repair prior and left. This is two weeks after a major ice storm here and there is a lot of tree debris around.
