Ghost Bridge - Lincoln


Follow Business Loop 55 {4 lane 66 Bypass} to the south side of Lincoln. You will see a cemetery on the west side of the road. Turn onto West Cemetery Road and follow the brick road to the left. This is the continuation of Old 66 from the other side of the 4 lane from Stringer Street. This is looking back to the north. These are actually two different cemeteries dating from the time of the Civil War.
The road has a gate across it. This is the view south. You must walk from here.
This post stands near the road. "FA 23 1922"
Walking south....
Still walking south... 
Still walking south....
And here it is! The supports are still here, but the road bed is gone. In front of us is the Salt Creek.
The "crew" climbing around on the bridge.
This is the foundation on the other side of the creek. The road is still there and can be accessed from farther south on Bypass 66. It also has a barricade so you have to park and walk.
