Deck Bridge Supports and Abutments at Tunnel 1

Here's the support and abutment on the opposite side from the previous photo. This tall support was originally stone just like the other one, but had concrete poured around it at some point for more stability. That's a concrete abutment and then the entrance to the tunnel up there. We're standing on the highway bridge and you can see how the road turned to the left at the end of the car bridge and passed under the railroad bridge. The highway followed the Doe River on around the bend rather than ducking through a tunnel.
