So many historic sites have been saved or protected nationwide, how can our reps in government allow this destruction. The people see heritage here, same as the hallowed ground at Gettysburg, do not tread casually here either. Hessions, French, British and colonists fought to create the American dream. Covered bridges in many states have been saved or restored, many cases little practical use, mostly esthetic. 1776 battle sites with little more than a plaque, yet Park service guides tours without any concern of cost. Govt, hear our plea, save this historic bridge and Site. If not, maybe a person of influence or wealth can educate the masses of the tremendous loss it would be for a demolition to continue. The real insult would be if big money privately funded a massive new project destroying all remnants and creating a New Theme Park type bridge/land development. Traffic and typical land use abuse would be to say the least, Ugly. Water slides, atv trails, zip lines and human detritous casually falling into the river. Not far from the bridge site, many 1776 battle sites and cemetarys should not to be defiled by such gross misuse, listen to the people reps, this bridge and site are not just a line of accounting on some govt pressured Not To Do list. Drive a stake in the ground with a plaque of bronze, American Historic Site. Landers does an excellent job maintaing the camp area. Living in Damascus, we are walking distance to the bridge and do that twice a year. Thank you.
