| Additional Information: | Surveyed 2020 by HRL for an Amtrak project.... The single-span, through-girder, post-and-beam structure carries the railroad grade and its tracks across Bostwick Creek. It appears to date to the circa 1930s or 1940s. As with all bridges east from this point to Medary, it has concrete abutments that act as the posts. The steel girders are the beams, though they are not rolled. Rather are they built up of plates, angles, stay plates and rivets. |
