Description
This bridge was apparently washed out by a flash flood, but the wreckage now sits on the bank. One truss is intact, while the second truss is broken apart - but most or all of the parts are still present. Estimated length is 60-70 feet. The bridge has very lightweight members with no V-lacing.
