Peppers Ferry Bridge
Posted May 22, 2008, by Dennis Shelor

This bridge was closed in June 2002 after an over-height truck drove through it, damaging the framework above the deck. The eastbound bridge has been converted to two-way traffic during the closure.

As of May 2008, the bridge still stands, but remains closed.
