Bloomington Road bridge is a goner


August 24, 2013: The Bloomington Road bridge over Big Creek in Linn County is part of the Lincoln Highway loop route through Marion. Linn County had it taken down at the end of 2015.

As previously noted, a classic truss bridge in Linn County that is on the gravel Lincoln Highway loop through Marion but not old enough to officially qualify for being on the Lincoln Highway was doomed earlier this year when the supervisors voted to replace it.

The bridge was demolished last week. A basic concrete span will be built next year in its place.
