OLD MONROVIA RD over INDIAN CREEK (Madison County, Alabama)
Posted September 1, 2011, by R. Livingston (mad_beggar [at] poetic [dot] com)

December 25 2008 on a bike ride I took photos of the creek and under this bridge. It is in HORRIBLE condition. A huge tree was wedged against the supports at the time; it was catching a lot of flood debris. The I-beams inside the concrete pilings were exposed at water level and above, down to naked iron.

I see a LOT of truck traffic on this bridge and traffic has increased a great deal since the last inspection!!
