1. LONG VIEW OF BRIDGE, LOOKING SOUTH - Yellow River Bridge, Spanning Chippewa River on County Trunk Highway TT, Cobban, Chippewa County, WI |
These were the last two Pennsylvania trusses in Wisconsin that the DOT destroyed. [HistoricBridges]
"Between 1916 and 1918,
the Wisconsin-Minnesota Power & Light Company built a
hydroelectric dam four miles downstream from the
bridge, putting the site under water. The townships
of Eagle Point and Arthur arranged to have the 486-foot
span dismantled and re-erected 15 miles upstream near
the village of Cobban." [

One of Wisconsin's oldest truss bridge near Cornell on Hwy 178 will be torn down in 2022. The historic Cobban Bridge is now permanently closed. Take a road trip and take photographs while you can. photo by 📷David Hoff |
Girder bridges need more piers. I'm guessing they are concrete girders because no DOT uses white paint on steel girders.
