South Portal

This road has been closed for some time. Judging from the concrete blocks closing off all sides of the bridge, authorities are concerned about this bridge.

The West Face

Notice the damage to the parapet wall on the northwest corner. Is this why the bridge is closed? I cannot find an answer to this question.

The Damaged Parapet Wall

It appears to have been struck by a vehicle but I cannot confirm this theory.

The west face

The bridge is still extant in March, 2008 but the roadway is open only to private property. The north approach is completely blocked.
