All though listed as abandoned the road leading to and over are technically open. No signs or barricades stating other wise. Just a dead end sign. The only reason I didn't cross was the hill leading up to it was a bit muddy. I could have easily made it with 4WD but didn't want to track that much mud on the bridge.
