Notes

I like comparing this postcard of the Eagle Creek Bridge and scenic wayside with this fine view of its construction in 1915. The bridge and wayside still exist, though the surrounding scenery has changed dramatically.

    Eagle Creek is my favorite area for hiking.

    hard to imagine a time when one could walk safely on a main highway bridge without a sidewalk or bicycle path

    There is a date at the top of the arch. I believe it is 1915. Can't see it in any of the pictures.

    Why the rock facing on a concrete bridge, appearance only?
