Re: (erielack) Del Water Gap view & L&NE Bridge

[Dlw1el2_@_aol.com]

There are three piers in the water for the L&NE Bridge and two for the  
covered bridge.  Remember there is probably twenty feet of steel work  between 
the top of the L&NE piers and the top deck of their bridge, and the  bottom 
steel work does not stand out as much as the top deck does.  This  gives an 
elusion of just piers but believe me there is a bridge on top of  them.   
Check out some of the L&NE books for photo's of that  bridge.

Bob,
I'm confused as well. In these pictures, there looks to be  4 bridge 
piers (3 in the river) just in front of the LNE bridge. I thought  those 
were for the covered bridge where the pedestrian bridge is today.  But, 
thinking again, the covered bridge is behind the LNE. So what were  these 
4 piers for? Was there an earlier LNE bridge here  too?
