This bridge was demolished ca. 2011!

This bridge is a decent sized multi-span structure. It features built-up stringer spans and a number of concrete t-beam spans as well. The bridge features very tall, solid concrete railings and a wide deck. Concrete on the bridge shows signs of severe deterioration, which is likely was caused this bridge to be closed to all traffic. The bridge has been sitting unused for some time now. Sometime around 2011, the bridge was apparently demolished.
