Dave sent a followup to his previous set of Union Bridge images from 2009. In 2020 the Union bridge celebrated its 200th anniversary and was slated to undergo a new round of refurbishment. Dave notes these photos are "mostly showing bar joint details and the saddles, original and temporary that carry the suspension bars." Dave's comments accompany his images.
