Honey Creek Bridge
I would agree. There is little doubt that this pin-connected bridge was built well before 1930. Perhaps it was moved or rehabilitated then, but not built.
I also suspect that this bridge might be constructed of wrought iron instead of steel.
Honey Creek Bridge
The date of this structure is way off. It looks like a King Bridge Co. product of the 1880's. Probably made of wrought iron.
