I've been through Henry (and that bridge) a few times this summer since the bridge in Lacon was getting worked on. I haven't seen it closed, but there are times when farm equipment needs to cross the bridge and the police have to block traffic in the opposite direction.
Ah... the joys of living in small towns!
I did ride up to Lacon/Sparland earlier this year to look at the bridge work. I was hoping to get out on the bridge and get some scenic photos. It was a Sunday morning, but there were vehicles on the bridge among the equipment, so I wasn't sure that workers weren't on site. As such, I just got onto the end of the bridge and took some pics...
It was an interesting day, because I also saw this at a small creek near North Hampton...
