especially with how wide the riverbank is during the wet season there must be a lot of water flowing through. perhaps the bridge was bypassed and abandoned because the center pier must have been severely damaged or was part of faulty construction or design. one day ill head to the Stonewall County Library or courthouse in Aspermont and see how much information i can find about this bridge.
