Elm Street Bridge
Posted August 8, 2022, by Steve LIndsey (Steve Lindsey)

The second Elm Street Bridge, a steel through truss bridge, was replaced by the current Polygonal Warren pony truss in 1995 pictured, after this author sought an injunction against the replacement of a heritage bridge and failed to stop the construction of its replacement. This attractive bridge is the third truss bridge at the crossing.---SWL
