Moved to this location in 1986; it was shortened from 166' to 93' when moved.

What a beautiful bridge this is . If you look at the construction inside this bridge you can see it is really well built . Although I think it does need some paint . Also you can see that the foundation is not the original foundation ..

There is some beautiful lumber inside this bridge

great post otisbrown

Yeah, some really good carpentry inside. And the bridge looks really strong.

This one does look strong

Those old ones should be registered landmarks.
