Comments
Sugar Creek IN 32 Bridge
I kayak under this bridge all the time, and with a little bit of effort, you can put ashore here, and if you are brave enough, you can actually climb the concrete arch itself, all the way to its apex, where you are just a bare 4 feet below the roadway. Unforunately, this bridge, often referred to as "Yountsville Bridge" by local people, is a favorite graffiti sight for local teenagers, and as a result its aesthetic value has suffered, althought this is still a great bridge.
