Ditch No. 10 Bridge

Posted July 11, 2008, by Randall Houp (ghostbridgehunter [at] yahoo [dot] comF)

First bridge we photographed on Wednesday, July 9, 2008. Bridge found to be in really good condition and frequently travelled. As with all the bridges we did on this trip to Northeast Arkansas, we found creosote post, timbers, and piers being used.
