Oakwood Cemetery Bridge
Posted December 6, 2011, by J.P.

Not sure about anything about this bridge, I found some cellphone pictures of it on flickr. Not sure of the design nor the year built. But it is abandoned had has Balustrade Railings (thanks tony) and a curve. You can clearly see the bridge from bing maps. http://binged.it/vzmTAg And here is a link to the photos of the bridge that I found.
