Ballard Road Covered Bridge

Posted August 6, 2006, by Mary Johnson (merriejay [at] hotmail [dot] com)

It's nice to see this old bridge is still standing. I grew up in the area and haven't seen the bridge in over 40 yrs., but it still looks the same. The bridge was a turnaround point on our long school bus ride. I live in New Jersey now..you don't see covered bridges here. Enjoyed the photo.
