I've been doing this for a while now it seems. This is one of favorite hobbies, but anyways. I'm J.P. above you will find my photo blog link or where ever it lands on my bio page. Here is a link to my facebook if you would like to discuss stuff. Personally I'm from the Sunny Side of Louisville (southern Indiana), and I'm excited for the opening of the big 4 bridge across the Ohio.

Picture for the recent flooding we had down here. With it less then a mile upstream from the Ohio, it got really close to overrunning it. This was the crest though.

This Tee beam is interesting because of the Brick that is layed into the side of the bridge. Not sure if its decoration or if it actually helps support the structure.

Possible Covered Bridge
Posted April 25, 2017

So while just looking around Indiana, I noticed this Covered Bridge. It could be just a stringer, but it seems almost abandoned and could be an old alignment of Coffee Road. Just wanted to see what everyone else thought before I added the bridge.
