Coal Creek Bridge

Posted March 26, 2007, by Tom Hall (thomas [dot] hall [at] ffni [dot] com)

This bridge is probably in the worst shape of all the bridges in this county, and is starting to show its age. It doesn’t appear that there is a lot of traffic on the road it serves and may be the reason it hasn’t been as well maintained as some of the other bridges in this county.
