Its design is a 2 Camelback through truss spans. The bridge is 462.8 feet long and 14.9 feet wide with a deck clearance of 16.3 (deck to supports).
The Current Status of the Bridge
The bridge is in rough shape but the deck seems to be ok. I still wouldn’t drive a vehicle over it. It was deemed a safety hazard for a reason. From what I can tell, people are or have driving ATVs and dirt bikes over the bridge recently. Bridgehunter has the bridge listed as in poor condition and has the superstructure and substructure listed with a rating of 1 out of 9 for Imminent Failure.
About the Images
I plan to revisit the bridge the next time I’m in the area and get some pictures above and below the bridge.
The images were shot on an early morning on a sunny day. I used my Sony a6000 and my Sony SELP18105G E PZ 18-105mm F4 G OSS lens. 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.
