Built in 1905 over Big Cedar Creek, the Seal Bridge is a single span, Queenpost truss with a length of 60 feet. (64 feet including the 2-foot overhang at each end.) Built by George Reuss, it is currently being used as a barn
Current Condition of Bridge: Looks to be in good condition, and it seems like a perfect candidate for relocation and restoration.

Year Built: 1905
Parking (If not at the bridge):: No parking, but the bridge is located on a lightly travelled road and stopping is not terribly difficult.
