The east approach This is how you see the bridge as you leave the cemetery. It appears that there is a causeway that was poured between the Grove Street Bridges across a backwater of the Oconomowoc River. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in March 2008 |

Oblique View The south side of the bridge. This appears to have been a Warren pony truss with a continuous top chord. When the bridge was rebuilt as a flat slab, the original trusses were reinstalled as decorative railings.
The trusses appear to be virtual duplicates of the lost Range Line Bridge in Langlade County. Photo taken by J.R. Manning in March 2008 |
