I too, would like to see this bridge restored, but I think that's wishful thinking. The bridge was by-passed in 1975 when the road and concrete bridge was built closer to the river. The bridge sits on old SR 156. just outside of Markland.

This is a Wrought Iron Bridge Co. Whipple truss that was abandoned a long time ago. I was down there years ago and there was grass growing on the deck. Would be a neat one to restore.
