Bridge was present 7/27/13. When I got there 2/22/14, the old bridge was gone & new bridge was being built.

At the meeting about the Rte 8 bridge an ODOT representative said this bridge is disassembled and is in storage until a new home can be found for it.

I assume this bridge is gone. They posted a notice the bridge was closed for replacement in October 2013. There was, by the way, nothing wrong with this historic bridge. It could have and should have been preserved like the covered bridges in this county. Why wasn't it? Probably because it wasn't a covered bridge. Typical unfair treatment.
