Brandewie Bridge
Yes but it is on private property. The Ohio bridge folks are trying to see if the owner would be interested in collaborating with a plan to relocate and reuse in a more public setting.

The fact that it still exists is fantastic! In the satellite view, it looks like its in its original location on an old road alignment but the deck is now gone.
