Central Street Bridge
Posted January 1, 2010, by Jerry Fantozzi (jkfantozzi [at] yahoo [dot] com)

I believe this bridge was removed over the summer of 2009 and a replacement of steel and concrete is being put into its place. Should my travels take me there again anytime soon, I'll supply some pictures.
