Richland Creek Bridge

Posted May 23, 2007, by Joshua Collins (bigjc1979 [at] aol [dot] com)

This bridge must have been closed a long long time ago. The boards of the deck were soft and some missing, the road on either side of the bridge is almost totally consumed by grass and weeds. I don't think you would be able to get a very good photo of this bridge during the summer when the trees are in bloom. These photos were taken during this past winter.
