What's interesting about this old Stone bridge?

this was the crossing for CWK in 1886
rail abandon between 1936 and 1955
The official name of the bridge is Bee Creek Bridge


The area surrounding this bridge
is solid rock, the Bee creek runs over the county road
during heavy rains making the road impassable,

The bridge is surrounded by high cliffs and rugged rocks,
some bigger than a house.



We took our grandson and his fiancee to this
location as they wanted to see some local sites.
