Comments
I learned today that a rehab is being considered for the bridge. It is quite possible that the Bob Evans Farm will take over maintenance of it.
I find this bridge to be extremely awesome!
I checked with ODOT today and the county is indeed seeking to replace this bridge. The project has not been programmed yet, however. When the project development begins, this will trigger Section 106 which will require a full investigation of the feasibility of rehabilitation.
I will probably nominate this bridge for a truss award in 2014
I am going to declare this bridge doomed due to the article below. I believe that due to the importance of this bridge as possibly the only one of this type in the entire nation it is important to sound the alarm that this bridge could be gone by 2016!

Janis: Section 106 Review is still ongoing for this bridge. There remain a variety of alternatives still under consideration; ownership by Bob Evans is only one of the several ideas being considered. There is still hope that the preferred alternative will be rehab for continued vehicular use.
