Bond Cemetery Road Bridge
This bridge was built by the Pan American Bridge Co. of New Castle,IN. The first time I visited it there was a plaque that has since went missing. The bridge is in bad shape and one of the abutments(cassions) is heaving inward. It would probably have to be taken down and repaired. Historically it is known as the Wrightsman Bridge.

Are there any citizens restorative organizations where some funding may be available to effect repairs on this bridge so it can be traffic borne once again. Please advise.
