Barnes Kingpost Truss
Any GOLF COURSES out there interested??????
I just browzed through several pics of abandoned, closed, and "adoptable" bridges on this site. I truely think some of them could be reused as not only foot bridges. Yes lots of historic spans HAVE turned into elegantly restored foot bridges. Another use for a historic bridge could be the golf course. One or more old bridges could saved by converting them into passageways for golf carts. This idea could give life to many historic bridges as the ruthless UECB continues to "spoil" our countyside.
