New photos have been added of the historic George Street Bridge in Aurora, Indiana. Once in a state of severe disrepair, the 135-year-old Whipple through truss was structurally rehabilitated and painted a bright red hue in 2010.

Historic Bridges says the floor beams and deck were replaced.  It is interesting that they stuck with a metal grate for the deck. Many people hate driving over them.

Bridges & Tunnels says the rehabilitation raised the weight limit from 6 to 36 tons. Yet the street view date is contemporary. Did they forget to take down the old weight limit sign for over a decade? Actually, they are probably trying to keep truck traffic off of the side street. US-50 is just a couple of blocks away.
The grain bins in the right background are for a CGB barge loading facility. It doesn't have any rail service so there must be enough local farming that trucks can supply the needed grain.
