Wrong ugly bridge link - that's the covered bridge on old 36. Streetview suggests the bridge approaches are worn but the bridge itself looks new and well graded.

So the photo above is of the bridge approach? I'm no expert, but that looks like the deck. :confused:

If we don't start investing in our infrastructure real soon here major problems could loom ahead.
