For those wondering, the photos on this article should help illustrate what this bridge's original function was as part of a Dorr Clarifier https://books.google.com/books?id=fwU0AQAAMAAJ&dq=Dorr%20Cla...

mmmmm... delicious... a thru truss over the Breakfast Branch!!! I was trying to find photos, but instead found another possible bridge (historic concrete arch) in the area (exact location unknown). https://www.flickr.com/photos/croftonsteve/6390387115/in/pho...
