mobilene Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 S as in "S bridge." I've already shared the ones at Blaine and over Salt Fork. There are two others, and maybe even a third, but you can't drive on them anymore. Let's deal with the "maybe" bridge first. Do you see the old roadbed here? Do you see the S shape?

Keep the Show on the Road! Posted June 28, 2011 Report Share Posted June 28, 2011 Jim, Cars in those days must have been really narrow to fit between the posts on those S bridge approaches! Seriously, I thought the "S No More" was an interesting discovery. Is it described in "the literature?" Dave Keep the Show on the Road!

mobilene Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I don't remember reading about S No More anywhere. Bridgehunter.com, surely the finest historic bridge Web site, knew nothing about it (though I just informed them). You'd need a skinny motorcycle or a scooter to drive the other two S bridges!

DennyG Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I believe your S No More bridge is the Cooks Run bridge listed here. It's about the middle of the page and you'll probably have to search for it. It's also mentioned on page 17 of the Ohio NR Travelers Guide. I was unaware (or had forgotten) that this was now on line. The ONRA site also has provisions (bottom of page) for ordering a free hard copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
