Columbia's Bridge To Nowhere
Description
This bridge is noteworthy more for it's lack of use than it's history or aesthetics. It goes nowhere, literally, and it gets there fast. Drivers can take the road off Hwy. 555 (Farrow Road) near I-20 and cross the bridge. Immediately upon crossing the railroad tracks underneathe, the road suddenly stops. There are no signs that tell drivers this. It was built in 1991 and my best guess is that the plan was to build a housing development or industrial complex near here, but that they never went through with it.Facts
