Coal Creek Bridge
This was the location of Fountain County bridge #7. It has been dismantled and is being reassembled on a trail in Madison County in or near Anderson. It's a Parker thru truss.
Coal Creek Bridge
This bridge probably no longer exists. Driving to this location there was a much higher modern concrete structure there. I also saw abutments lower than the modern bridge which has to be where this bridge existed.
