Smith Creek Katy Trail Bridge
Posted January 23, 2008, by Myself

It is so nice with what they are doing with these bridges.

restoring them, bringing them back to use.

I mean, you think about it, alot of people did hard work to build these bridges, and not just the Katy Trail bridges, but all truss bridges that were ever built.

It is insane to leave a bridge that so many people worked hard to make, just sit, rust and rot away to nothing.

I am glad the Katy Trail is doing this, they are saving fine works of art, these bridges and tunnels need to be restored, and put back in use.

Thanks to www.bridgehunter.com and The Katy Trail for doing all this to keep these bridges and tunnels famous.
