The store proprietor told me about one of the last Lincoln Highway bridges very nearby, so I went.

This is a concrete T-girder bridge from 1921 on the Lincoln Highway. The bridge is 2 spans at 160 ft and 18.4 feet wide. It replaced a timber trestle bridge. It is to be demolished as it can not be brought up to current regulations.

You put quite a bit of effort in this one Kyle, thanks for taking the time to post. Never visited the fort, but will put it on my list next time up. Bob
