An extraordinarily large number of full / wallpaper sized photos are available for this particular bridge. As always, the smaller, standard 640x480 sized images are also available. More of these photos are available, as they also include photos of the technical details of the bridge, as well as additional overview angles. The full/wallpaper sized images are available in this section for those who do not wish to wait for the longer download times. To jump right to the standard-sized photo selection, click here.

This appears to be the sign that would have been in place when the bridge was closed. It restricts all trucks from using the bridge.

This is the back side of that sign, so I would assume this side is older. This side shows the bridge having a weight limit of 15 tons.

There are numbers and arrows on this thing, which hold the diagonal in place as it passes by the vertical. Perhaps they were a key to some instructions on how to assemble the bridge?

Another number, looks like 28, was on this.

Note the unusual termination of the top chord with the end post.

Lattice guardrails remain on the abutments.
