Historic Jones Bridge
June 13th, 2007This bridge was a pain to find, but I found it at last. Google Earth marks this as the historic Jones Bridge. I did find one mention of the bridge on the web, with the longitude and latitude coordinates, but nothing about the history of the bridge. The bridge is not listed in the National Bridge Inventory.
The following photos were taken in December, 2006. Unfortunately the sun was in a bad place for taking these pictures.

This photo is really 3 photos merged together. I could not get enough of a wide angle with my camera to get the whole bridge in one shot. But technology is great :). The photo, however, does seem a little distorted. But it really isn’t too bad. This is the west side of the bridge taken on the north bank.
