It appears to be a broken hyperlink in the homepage map. I initially clicked on Mineral Co. MT which took me to a list that county which did not list this bridge. It was only when I attempted to import the NBI info that I discovered that a page for this bridge already existed. I had a similar experience with using the map for Whitman Co., WA to post the Tekoa viaduct. Sorry for the duplication.
Very cool bridge, thanks for the pictures!

Nice pictures! Will look forward to seeing more.
Hello - let me know if these work. As the sign indicates this bridge is known as the "natural pier bridge" for obvious reason as seen in photos.
I have a few more bridges to send your way today. And will be sending more in the future. Also, let me know if you like detail photos or just the whole bridge.
Thanks
Van

It's no problem, it's happened to me as well.
