1958
The Bridge is 120' overhead steel truss, with a wood floor of 14'
width, and built in 1896. The critical point is the light steel·
truss. There are alternate routes for a few trucks that service
the local farmers, and it seems desirable to keep heavy traffic off
the structure. It would seem that replacement could not be achieved
for some years. The truss, although light, is in good condition,
and the floor is very good.
