Kennedy bridge.

I pass under the bridge nearly everytime I go fishing and yes the structure of the bridge is in bad shape. I heard the DOT caught the live bait delivery truck crossing the bridge a few months ago. The driver of the small box truck had to pay fines of nearly $3000 and lost his commercial drivers licence.

FYI:
The Kennedy Bridge over Herrington was built around 1924 at the time the Dix dam was built. I have seen pictures of bridge being built. My fishfinder shows the depth of the water under the bridge near the Mercer Co. side around 185 ft. deep.

In a article in the Herald Leader back in the Spring, it said that the bridge would be monitored, but it was not on the budget for repairs within the next eight years. Has anyone heard if they have moved it up or not?

yea, i was going to say, its 94 ft on the shallow side. if youre on the bluff wall side at Kennedy, its more like 200ft, the old dix river channel runs under there. So you can imagine how tall those supports are. If I remember right, there used to be an old black and white pic in Sunset Lodge of Kennedy Bridge being built. It was taken from down below beside the Dix River and it was a **** long way up.
