Amen.
I like when bridges are painted. They stand out in their surroundings nicely.
i lived here all my 35 years an its been a great place to swing from,jump from an the biggest catfish come from under the 20 foot hole under the bridge...if it was a safety move good deal if it wasnt ,atleast leave our land marks alone up here in gods country....god bless the world....for the end will be here soon...
Glad they left it intact with the deck. It looks like an entirely different area than a few years back. They saved 10s if not hundreds of thousands and preserved history in place. Good Job!
Old bridge is still there. Road removed, bridge blocked.
I wouldn't lose heart or hope just yet--new Google Earth imagery dated 3/24/2012 shows the new bridge completed, with the old still completely intact (including the deck) about 60 feet to the north of the new bridge.
My Delorme Mapping shows it as Lee Creek.
I have not been up there since the replacement. I expect they removed the old completely. Maybe I sadly will go up and shoot a few photos and add an update.
Actually, it has historically been LEE'S CREEK in Oklahoma and Lee Creek only in Arkansas.
Thank you whoever's decision it was to leave the bridge it is a historic landmark in mine and everyone else's eyes in and around the nicut community. Just wish someone could've saved the Wilson
Rock bridge....
