Had a very nice paint job on it not too many years ago... But it sure didn't hold up very well.

There wasn't a lot of traffic when I was there 7/16/12. Got some nice shots.

What seems odd to me every time I see this bridge is the brick floor. I don't think I've seen that elsewhere.

Stopped today (28 January 2011)and grabbed a quick shot of this brige. I was surprised at how busy the street was so I only got one. I will post it later but it's still there.
