Moved to this location in 1986; it was shortened from 166' to 93' when moved.

What a beautiful bridge this is . If you look at the construction inside this bridge you can see it is really well built . Although I think it does need some paint . Also you can see that the foundation is not the original foundation ..

Yeah, some really good carpentry inside. And the bridge looks really strong.
