Work Nears Completion on Brandon span. June 14, 2003 - A handsome new covered bridge stands where the historic Sanderson Bridge [WGN 45-11-02] once stood. A walk though the bridge will reveal that very little of the original remains. Five original web members can be seen on the upstream truss, and six on the downstream side. Of the 13 tie-beams, five are new. Most of the cross bracing appears to be from the original bridge. Except for what is listed above, some of the knee braces and a few roof rafters, the rest of the construction is new southern yellow pine.
