NTZR - Morgan Fork Creek Bridge
Posted October 13, 2019, by Nathan Holth (webmaster [at] historicbridges [dot] org)

Per field visit this bridge (closely inspected) and the other two NTZR bridges shown on this website (photographed at a distance) all have been altered as part of a repair project. Vertical members replaced with rolled beams, bottom chords replaced with bolted replacement, misc rivets replaced with bolts, misc. plated repairs, etc.
