Beautiful and unusual details that are rare on this type of bridge .

Ronald R. Turner: Another point about this bridge, or moreso its name and the name of the village nearby that it is named for.
In that area, the village's name is pronounced "BAH-liv-ee." A local resident told me that, and I did not know what to think!

This makes it obvious that it is a pin-connected truss.
