Description

This summer oblique view of the upstream side looking south shows the completed bridge with the trusses, decking, and side rails in place and the falsework removed. Taken from the north side hill, the river is visible below, part of the south support pier is visible, and tree-covered hills beyond are in leaf. A pile of short timbers is apparent in immediate foreground and at near right stands a scaffold structure that may have been used in setting the trusses.
