Title: Nice 1935 truss bridge, yours free!

Well, you would have to disassemble it and remove it at your own expense.  But it's a shame to see this one go - this is on US 6 in Dotsero, CO.

This is the 3rd green truss bridge CDOT has put up for adoption recently. If only I had a yard to put them in I could start a collection!

Do you know what happened with the other two?

Didn't hear about anyone adopting them, so I'm guessing scrapheap. :(
