Sand Creek IN 3 Bridge

Posted April 30, 2007, by Anthony Dillon (spansaver [at] hotmail [dot] com)

There is a derelict Lafayette Bridge Co. thru truss with ponies on both ends sitting in the weeds just to the East of this bridge. I would say it's on the old alignment of SR3, and has been abandoned since '35 when this bridge was built. Tried to take pics last fall but could'nt get through overgrowth.
