Views of bridge from southwest quadrant.
Sorry for torturing you with this horrific imagery of the new slab. Note how far away it is from the truss bridge. It is not like the bridge is in the way of anything. These images should also put to rest any question as to why I mock new bridges as "slabs of concrete" on this website. Also note that for all the modern engineering of the 21st Century, they seem today to be unable to span the whole river, and must build piers in the river all the way across. The Blue Rock Road Truss Bridge cleared the entire river in one span.
Various portal views looking north in general.

I wish the truck were not present in these photos... otherwise these are some of the nicest photos I could get of this bridge, which show both the portal and the mighty polygonal truss arching above it all. The first photo in this section turned out the best, as I was able to cut most of the truck out of the photo. In general, these are taken facing south.

I climbed up a bit for this view. Pardon the slight tilting of the camera, I am not a real acrobat up in the air! I was only about half-way to the top of the bridge, but the perspective is quite a bit different from here. I am looking northeast in this photo.

View under the bridge. Taking facing north. Note the huge plate girder floorbeams.
View looking south at the old road, which was closed in 2001. Amazing how fast a paved road can be overgrown.
Views of the bridge from southeast quadrant, in the park adjacent to the bridge. The last three were taken on an early cloudy morning. The first two were from my sunny evening visit (when most of my photos were taken). The sun was not all that good for this position on either day.
Cloudy morning photos from the new Blue Rock Slab bridge. I am facing west in these photos.
