Holmes bridge can be driven on?

In the summer! Log trucks do it with no problem but I guess some drivers of smaller cars just can’t keep it between the navigational beacons. Backing up seems like a poor decision, too, on a bridge made from a rail car with no guardrails…

Its made of old cement,the shivly bridge is a rail car. But still a bad idea to try to back up on.

The bit closest to Larabee is a rail car that they pull out in winter. But yes, the Holmes side is a cement “low water” bridge.

This is the bridge from Larabee side. You can barely see the Holmes end in the distance.
