Grosse Road Bridge

Looking north
What a hidden jewel! The main county highway bypasses the bridge about a quarter mile to the west.

Description
There are several damaged spots on the bridge structure. Apparently, narrow truss bridges lead a tough life. This bridge is on what is either newer concrete footings, or crumbling stone footings encased in concrete. Was this done when the bridge deck was replaced with concrete?
