Patrick writes: "This abandoned bridge is very much identical to the one to the north. There are a few small pipelines visible in several of the photos, but it's obvious that this one was once a conveyor bridge -- there's even a roller left in one of the pictures. A comparison between the [current and historical] topographical, DOQ, and satellite images here show the changes within this area of the bridge. It appears they finished up here with the wetlands/floodplain restoration and moved north."
