Y'all could have went just down the road to Ft. Ritner and found another old closed iron bridge.

I stopped there one day quite a while ago. There was the cab of a 30's-40's model truck at the base closest to the main road..seems like a tree had even grown trough it. I did have photos on an older computer but I think I lost them.

Satoli! Another excellent video! I have been told that John Mellencamp filmed one of his videos here.

[@historyinyourownbackyard2363]

I didn't know that he did a video on this bridge!

@@historyinyourownbackyard2363 It's "Pink Houses", I just watched it and yes that has to be Sparks Ferry. Clearly see the pony on the end.

I was born in Vallonia in 1952. I have driven across this bridge many many times when we used to go to the old Railroad Tunnel for fun. :)
