Big Wheeling Creek Bridge
Posted May 25, 2008, by Will Nelson (willynwv [at] yahoo [dot] com)

Is this the bridge on CR-5 that you have listed as open? This sits at the crossroads of CR-5 Big Wheeling Creek Rd, Pine Hill RD, Drummin Lane and CR-16 Caldwell Hill Rd. There is only one other steel truss bridge on this road and you have it mapped. I will try to supply picture of it in the following days.
