As evidenced in this photo taken this morning by Lisa Broadwater, the historic Casselman River Bridge is in great need of repairs. In addition to the damage pictured, which is located on the west side of the downstream face of the 199-year-old structure, the road above is separating from the bridge’s stone wall.

The 80-foot span bridge is located in the four-acre Casselman River Bridge State Park, located off U.S. Route 40 east of Grantsville. The bridge was completely restored in the 1940s. It has not been used by vehicles for decades, but is open to foot traffic. Park crews recently set up barricades to the bridge and roped off access to the damaged area. Park service engineers were at the site this morning inspecting the damage.
