Knob Creek Bridge
This bridge was destroyed by a logging truck in the fall of 2011. It was replaced by a modern concrete structure in the spring of 2013.
Knob Creek Bridge
Looks like a riveted Warren truss from the 1920's
Knob Creek Bridge
Perhaps it was moved, or more likely rehabed in 1981. Certainly not built.

Whoever said that this bridge was collapsed or destroyed is wrong. This bridge (fortunately) is still here and open to traffic. I took pics today. Perhaps another bridge got confused with this one, but this bridge is still here. I changed the status to reflect this.
