Brandon Road Bridge

Posted February 1, 2007, by Anonymous

I grew up in Lockport near there. I believe that bridge is just down stream of the lock and dam with a good view of it when crossing. Nice to see another Joliet area bridge added to the site. Great site, by the way. I go to another site called airliners.net and the people who frequent that board have made it an extremely popular web site. I have that feeling about this site also.
