Hope so too, but doubt it. This bridge gets vandalized often. Greene Co has a 3-D problem: too many drunks, druggies and dumbasses.
Uh-oh! Some a-hole tried to torch this beaut: https://www.wthr.com/article/news/crime/isp-investigating-fi...
Found more interesting tidbits connected to this bridge. An article was published on the tornado that tore apart the bridge (and the surrounding communities) in the New York Times (!) on May 30, 1883. Here is an excerpt:
"At a point where a bridge crossed Eel River eight or ten persons, some of them being in a wagon, south shelter on the bridge. The bridge was shattered and men, women, wagon and mules went into the river together. Joseph Seeley and Mrs. Hay were killed outright and five persons were injured. The Mules escaped without a scratch."
This newspaper article was reproduced in a excellent little book titled "History of Patricksburg" by Joyce Van Dyke Skinner and Margie E. Byerly.
Looks like you could pick up your photos while your are there...or maybe a chocolate shake.
Sounds like a great flick on "Shudder"!
Alright, Art! You are a barer of good news! Hope they can get Dicks Road bridge fixed now
This bridge is going straight to hell. Needs repair, paint, whatnot.
Hey Neil! Cool Pix!!
So has Spencer & Daviess
There are several cool abandoned ponies in Warrick Co, two Bedsteads on Cole Creek and a warren on Tennyson road. The Cole creek bridges can't be seen in high vegetation, with the one on 800 almost gone.
I'm afraid that ponies don't have a lot of luck anywhere these days. Garrett, you didn't happen to visit the two ponies that are abandoned on Hunley & Bruner creeks on 64 almost directly north of this bridge, did you? I have visited the Bruner creek bridge, but couldn't get permission on check out the Hunley pony. The area was heavy with "No Trespassing".
Sure sux now...
I never met the man, but I feel a deep loss. I can only say my sympathies to his family
What???!!!
Visited the bridge today. Cool park, plus nice to be able to drive over a pony truss that has been moved. Nifty little antique mall close by, too. Could this be Endicott Road bridge? http://bridgehunter.com/in/gibson/2600242/
