Description
I am not sure about all the details of this bridge yet, I have been here once about 2 years ago. I do know that there is a nearby geocache (www.geocaching.com) waypoint GC1FVK3. This is actually how I came across this bridge. I may have to come back out and veiw it again and get some measurements.Facts

Kentucky Street (1600th street) 1915
lehightrails.com has a view of Old Portland Lehigh Cement Company, cant tell if its bridge by Kentucky Road Nebraska Road Intersection or not
Sat Imagery shows collapsed structure of some kind just South West of this bridge. Right next to curve in Road where Nebraska Rd turns into 1600th Street. Maybe on Lehigh Trail. Cant say for sure but possible. A lot can happen in 36 Years!
I understand that there used to be a concrete bridge nearby, but I was not in this area at that time.
I'm looking for a bridge that would be about this location, however I remembered it to be stone. There was a plate description on it. I was there in 1979. It was very old, and hidden in the trees, after you walked through some wooded area. Kids would jump off into the water there, and swim. Do you know of another bridge in this location? Thanks for info.

This bridge appears to be on the verge of collapse. The bearing is halfway off the abutment and twisting of the gusset plate in that area is visible.
