Coal Creek Bridge
Posted May 18, 2007, by Anthony Dillon (spansaver [at] hotmail [dot] com)

This was the location of Fountain County bridge #7. It has been dismantled and is being reassembled on a trail in Madison County in or near Anderson. It's a Parker thru truss.

This bridge probably no longer exists. Driving to this location there was a much higher modern concrete structure there. I also saw abutments lower than the modern bridge which has to be where this bridge existed.
