This little steel stringer bridge is located a bit south of the truss bridge. If you walk back to the truss bridge from Yager Road, you would cross over this bridge.

Side view. Notice how the bridge is tipping over, and see how the supports are not against the ground anymore, since water has been washing away the dirt.

This vertical member has rusted so much that it is no longer connected. Other vertical members are almost disconnected. As this continues, the likelihood of this bridge collapsing will increase.
Rust has been unusually aggressive on this bridge. While seeing steel pushed by rust buildup in between rivets is quite common on truss bridges, this is much worse than usual. The rust has pushed the steel up so far that the steel is breaking.
Rust broke this steel too.
This is a normal trouble-spot for rust on a truss bridge, and this bridge is no exception.
Supports and steel abutments are tipping over at this end, which is the greatest danger to this bridge.
