Good News - I've been watching the old bridges in Cumberland County, and I believe that of the several remaining historic truss bridges over the Yellow Breeches Creek, this one is on the list to rehabilitate.
Unfortunately Craighead bridge is a goner and the other two nearby are of uncertain fate, but at least this one should stay. It's a nice one, too.
