Onion Creek Bridge

Posted October 11, 2006, by Anonymous

This bridge was still standing as of March 2003. The floor boards have been removed and the area around the bridge is becomming overgrown with saplings. The bridge can be seen easily from the new bridge that was built immediately to the west.
