The historic trestle of the Railroad Bridge is a beautiful structure. Yesterday I showed you the damaged portion, part of the bridge that extends west from the trestle. This is the main bridge. It has pilings driven deep into the river substrate that are buffered by concrete. Supports for the damaged part of the bridge are not as deep and robust.
This portion of the bridge also has strong, towering support above…which, of course, is eye candy for anyone looking for strong geometry.
This is a longer view of the trestle.
The bridge transits the Dungeness River which drops down from the Olympic Mountains in a steep 7,300 foot fall over 32 miles. It is the second steepest river in the United States.
This part of the bridge appears to be very well built. I hope when the rest is repaired the builders do as good a job!
The structure makes an interesting image of patterns.
Tremendous for photographers, and it feels like a very peaceful place.
Amazing info and stunning photos.
You would have to take my hand and lead me across while I closed my eyes tightly!
