DennyG Posted October 4, 2013 Report Share Posted October 4, 2013 In a "close it or lose it" move, the last Ohio National Road S-bridge in use was closed to save it from the abuse of heavy traffic related to fracking. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2013/10/04/1828-s-bridge-closed-for-its-own-good.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilene Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Well poop. There was no reason at all for any heavy traffic to use that bridge, when the next alignment of the road passed right next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keep the Show on the Road! Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Denny, Thanks for the item. And Jim's point seems very well taken. I'm glad you guys are keeping an eye on the Midwest! I want some good stuff left if I ever get there!! Dave Keep the Show on the Road!

DennyG Posted October 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 Back in 2006, I posted a picture of an 1833 stone bridge in Funkstown, MD, that just happened to show a large dump truck on the bridge. Someone saw the photo and contacted me for a higher resolution version in hopes of identifying the truck which clearly exceeded posted weight limits. I do not know if they were successful.
