PART II
This is one of two spans that were at Flora Vista Bridge 485.56. The other span is on the 4Square ranch east of Farmington. I walked across this bridge with my dad in 1945. The owners of the ranch where the bridge is are going to give me access as soon as I can arrange it.
Note that the span is not sitting on the cement piers, when they moved the other span to Farmington, they were planning to move both of them, but ran into problems and never completed the move. The bridge is just sitting on pilings.
Bridge 465-A. The property around the bridge and the ROW to the Bondad tank are for sale.
Cropped part of an image showing how the high resolution (45.7 megapixels) allows you to crop tight and still have detail. Looks like someone removed the builder plate from the girder bridge portion.
