What started it's decline for safety was some kids built a bond fire in the middle of the bridge ... It was patched with a steel plate ... But this was a school bus route (you would not believe the 90 deg. turn up a bluff the bus would have to make )... Everything on this bridge was one way !! who was the biggest !! <'TK><
