This is the bridge that was next to the Whipple truss pedestrian bridge, so what's the info saying about the Onondaga County link below ? is this bridge of West Genesee drawbridge identical with the bridge in Monroe County of Rochester or the Lyell Avenue drawbridge is the same bridge next to the Whipple truss bridge?
