Big Cut Road Bridge
Posted March 12, 2008, by Stephan Parsons (scfarm [at] netins [dot] net)

The deck planking is in poor condition, but the materials for repair seem to to be stockpiled near the span when I passed over the bridge March 9, 2008. The bridge spans a deep railroad cut, and is a beautiful combination of steel span and wooden railings and planking.
