Henry Bridge
I am uploading some detail pics of this bridge. Note the use of cables, possibly instead of eyebars, on certain locations on the bridge. In one instance, holes for the cables appear to have been drilled through a vertical member (see photo). The plaque is located at the southwest corner of the bridge.

Lots of fond memories of Bridge #9.
Thanks for the great photos.
