Abandoned bridge in the United States
The Vance Creek Bridge - Bridge in Washington state was built in 1929. It was once part of the Simpson Timber Company Railroad, and he still has the honor of being the highest railway bridge in America. Although many former railway bridges have been converted for the transportation of cars and trucks, the Vance cry bridge is a railway bridge.
At present, this place is completely abandoned and closed to researchers. Let's look at it more ...
This second highest railway bridge in the United States was built in 1929. In the photo one of the stages of construction. Now the bridge proudly bears the title of the highest bridge in the United States abandoned.
The bridge is part of the railway Simpson Timber Company Railroad, which was used for the export of forest are cut off in the area.
Unlike other old railway bridge it did not convert for vehicles after the cessation of the use of traditional purposes. Just dismantled driveways and left alone. But he can only dream of peace :) tourists visit the bridge almost every day despite the ban.
The height of the bridge given the depth of the gorge - about 350 feet, almost 110 meters, the length of the bridge 827 feet (252 m), the length of the central span - 422 feet (129 m). The bridge itself has no railing and decking but often stacked sleepers.
The entrance to the bridge is not directly from the nearest big town, Shelton, half an hour away and 10-15 minutes on foot. The road itself is a little bit away from the bridge and access roads, security, dug trenches meter depth, groomed several sites on the sidelines quietly allow park the car a little bit to the side of the roadway.
The same plate, pay attention to it only on the opposite side of the bridge. Then he will understand why at the beginning of the bridge we have not seen too much "disguised" was.
Forest little space now grows through the bridge.
