Bridge for an Adirondack Creek

I built this bridge for a man who owns property in the Adirondack Mountains. There was a bridge spanning a creek on his property that was no longer safe. He comissioned me to do this custom bridge building project. The bridge is 10 feet wide by 33 feet long. Last spring it was put into place and covered with wood. We have been invited to his property and when we go we will take a picture of it in place.  It is a cool thing to know that I built a bridge that will be in the Adirondack Mountains for many years. This is the largest metal project I have done.
                                 BRIDGE UPDATE 7/24/10
Today we went to the Adirondack town of North Hudson to see my bridge in place over a creek.  It has been covered with wood and gravel and placed on concrete walls.  A beautiful railing has been placed on it.  The owner still plans to trim the rubber off, but it was in place and he is happy with it.  He said that so far he has a truck with equipment go over it that weighed 75,000 lbs and it did fine. Below are some pictures of the bridge and the creek it spans.
