A Facebook comment called this Bowman's Farms Bridge, but the webpages agree that it is Lattins Farm Drive Bridge. The farm probably has had multiple owners.

| Craig Lacy posted Set of guard gates near Medina. They do come in handy from time to time. Charlie Ricker: This was just west of Albion; the bridge overhead went to Bowman's farms. |

| HistoricBridges "This bridge stands out among the many Erie Canal historic bridges as an example of a bridge that is not either a vertical lift bridge or a double-intersection Warren through truss. Instead, this is a multi-span Warren pony truss. The bridge also has a narrower deck width than most Erie Canal bridges. The bridge serves a dead-end road, and perhaps the light use such a bridge would be expected to receive explains why the bridge is narrow. The narrow width may also account for why a different truss design was chosen." [The map location on this webpage is wrong. The bridge is a few blocks further west were a road crosses the canal and goes to a loop of road.] |
