December 6, 2011 - These are indeed hard times for bridges. Scott Bridge is still standing -- Hurray! And I did want to follow-up with a few photos now that flood issues in other areas have settled down somewhat.
      The following photos show some areas of concern.

What the normal arch (with steel rods) looks like on the Northwest lateral side.

The inverted arch (with rods) on the Southwest lateral side

Boards kicked out

Boards kicked out

Exterior Dangling rope shows why boards were removed, exposing the trusses to the weather.

Ropes attached to the underside of the bridge on a slack rod that seems to have a "bend" in it. (There is a 2nd rod that also has a bend.)

The only place of weathering on the floor --whether due to removed side boards or previous leak in the roof we don't know.

boards kicked out by swimmers on S/E end; rotting cribbing on middle pier.

rotted "sill"? on S/W end; grafitti on East end (R & L).

1959 with siding intact; 2011with south side "modified".
