Scioto River CR 4 Bridge

Posted December 24, 2007, by Satolli Glassmeyer (info [at] scenicroadrallies [dot] com)

A few pictures from Friday, December 21, 2007. Spoke with the county on 12/21/07 and like Janis said the State will be building a new bridge next to this steel truss beginning in 2008. The project should last about 2 years but they have no idea what the State plans to do with the steel truss. Is there any type of a clearing house for these old bridges that can possibly be saved and used elsewhere such as a park?

This is bridge 6533159. It is still there, and it is spectacular. See it quickly, though. It's scheduled to be removed in 2008.
