Comments
Sand Creek Bridge
This is the Boyd Bridge at it's new home in Greensburg's city park. It was built by the Pan American Bridge Company of New Castle,IN. This is absolutely one of the best historic bridge restorations I have ever seen. I was overwhelmed by the effort to save this rare span built by one of my hometown firms. It is a must see if you are in the area.
Sand Creek 700 South Bridge
This bridge was disassembled in 2005-06 and moved to the city park in Greensburg. The bridge has been reconstructed over the park lake and should be open for pedestrian use in late 2006.
