Weight limit signs

Strangely, the limit on the new bridge appears to be 3 tons, while the limit on the old bridge is 7 tons.

Looking north west.

The bridge is still there as of 2-14-2008. It is still open and usable and looks to be in better condition than it's replacement.

Replacement span.

Use caution when driving over replacement span. It is extremely narrow and the pipe guard rails have been broken off. Swerve an inch either side and into the creek you go!
