This is probably something that should remain forgotten…
A one lane bridge attached to the Milwaukee Road railroad bridge spanning the Wisconsin River, highway 34 between Dancy and Knowlton (near the Marble Bar & Mullin’s Cheese)
Could be scary with a train, or waiting for oncoming traffic
Was eventually replaced with a real bridge.

Michael Anas: I drove across that bridge with the big Milwaukee Journal trucks on Sunday mornings in the late 70s and early 80s. Had just a bit of clearance left and right. It had a sign not to cross the bridge when a train was present.
