This benchmark is in plain view as you approach bridge. A word of caution and reminder to common sense, this is a heavy traveled road, stay inside the guard rail to visit this waymark. Parking can be done on the wide median or on the north side of west bound lane. If these directions are followed you will have a safe visit.
