The Bend Road Bridge
Posted August 16, 2006, by Todd D. Walker (ohiowalk40 [at] yahoo [dot] com)

The Bend Road Bridge was demolished and replaced with a concrete structure in 2003. I have pictures of the new bridge, but sadly have no pictures of the old bridge which I used to cross as a scenic shortcut.
