Caney Fork River Bridge
Posted May 4, 2011, by J.P.

I was going through my photos, when I realized a couple things, the side of the bridge I was able to photograph had laced end posts. If you look at the last picture from above, i noticed also the 1st, 3rd, and 4th truss look like they are pin connected.while the 2nd truss seems to be heavier. Also the small truss on the end looks like its only 3 maybe 4 panels. sorry i know random.
