Description
The Dayton View Bridge was originally a 2 span wooden covered bridge built in 1854 replacing a structure washed away in 1852. When the dykes were added, D.H. & C.C. Morrison (AKA Columbia Bridge Works) added three Bowstring through trusses to reach the newly created far Dyke. In the early 1880s, CBW replaced the wooden covered spans with two 11 panel Whipples. The bridge was removed/replaced in 1908.Facts
