Visited this bridge at 11:45 10 Feb 2007. Fairly good photos can be taken for either bank at east or west side on the bank. Also from the Narrows Marina & the Narrows Rec. Area. This is a long bridge, painted a muted green and has a pipeline slung to the west side.

Webmaster's note: The photos that were here have been incorporated into the main site.

NARROWS BRIDGE. And I'm from the Higden side.

Here's another angle taken from the western (Higden) side.

Higden Bridge

I grew up in the Greers Ferry area from 2nd grade on. The bridge was always referred to as the Narrows bridge. I have never heard it called the Higden bridge.
