Dedham Road Bridge
Posted June 7, 2009, by Reginald Clough (rclough [at] citizens-tel [dot] net)

I was just on the Dedham Road Bridge in April 2009. The road is closed to traffic. A resident claimed it is eventually going to be replaced. We used the bridge as background for some band photos and so I may be able to post a picture here eventually.
