The past post was correct in that this structure is located in a very nice setting. Unfortunatly since the last post vandals have decided to add their own touch to the architectural style of the bridge. Rotten graffiti now takes away from the scene but the bridge is still a great visit if your in the area.
As of October 2006: Great old bridge, still used, but off the beaten path, not defaced by graffiti, in good physical condition, with great photographic potential, in a quiet, picturesque setting.
