Ferry Street Bridge

A couple of these larger continuous through trusses were built in Western Oregon around 1950. They featured the center pier noted by Robert. The only other one I know of was built over the S. Umpqua River in Douglas County, but it was replaced around 1999.

Was the center pier added during the rehab? It isn't often a continuous truss span has a center pier.
