Sour Springs Road Bridge
This bridge was hit by a car in late February and is damaged beyond repair. The county has said it will not be replaced. This was the last bridge of this kind in the area.

Sour Springs Road Bridge
This is my first attempt at uploading pictures to your site. I plan on taking pictures of other bridges in Western New York State.
This is the Sour Springs Rd bridge. Its on a seasonal use road and has a weight limit of 3 tons. There were alot of bridges like this around the area. By the time I got interested in photographing them, they had been replaced. This one is surviving because of the seasonal use road that its on. No salt or winter traffic except snowmobiles.
