The Vaugh Creek Bridge in Hinds County, Mississippi is a small Pony truss bridge over Vaughn Creek. It was built for one vehicle traffic and was built in 1950.
Vaughn Creek Bridge
The bridge is just wide enough for one vehicle to cross the bridge. Its almost a blind curve on each side of the bridge. I found it difficult to see if there was another car on the bridge until I was almost up on the bridge. It is a 178.1 feet long and the deck is 14.4 feet wide. It is a steel frame and a wooden deck. This is the type of bridges you find in rural areas to cross small creeks.
After looking over the bridge I found it is rough shape but still in good enough shape for the traffic it gets. Grass is growing in the cracks in the wood with plenty of graffiti on the metal sides. Some of it was bad enough I had to remove it from the photos.
If the bridge was lost in a storm the handful of families living on the far side of the bridge would be stranded until the bride was fixed.
I noticed a ton of spent bullet shells of various types all over the bridge. My guess is the bridge is used as a platform for shooters having a little fun.
About the Images
The images were shot late afternoon as the wind was blowing and the storm coming in. I had some issues get the trees to stay in focus. I was able to fix in post but others I was not able to. I used Sony a6000 using my Sony SELP18105G E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS with my new K&F Concept SA254T1 Camera Tripod. The images were then edited with Adobe Lightroom CC and Topaz Labs A.I. Clear and DXO NIK Collection to clean up the images, remove noise, and recover the lost details.
