Love those old iron bridges!

I hope I look that straight and stout at 117 or so years old. Great Image. Jim

Neat.

Wonder why they put the date on some old bridges?

There are some concrete overpasses here with the date cast into them.

I think they were justly proud. Jim

So bridge designers can check in later years to see how good the design was?

(quoted from post at 11:07:44 07/01/20) So bridge designers can check in later years to see how good the design was?

And no matter how good it was, the county declares it needs to be replaced, because, well look how old it is.

Nice picture. Here's a pict. of the last old bridge over apple river ( I think) in Daviess co. Northern Illinois. The next
modern bridge down stream, early 50s, washed out in 2017. Next bridge down stream is a newer one. It replaced an old iron
one, it used to be the local swimming hole. It was pretty deep, we used to jump off the deck, a couple guys off the top,
not me.
