The former Keene Creek Bridge is located next to its replacement that spans Keene Creek just north of Keene Reservoir. I remember driving over the orphaned bridge for many years while growing up in the 1970s and 80s. It was replaced sometime in the early 1990s with the current bridge. You can still walk across the bridge but it's impossible to drive across with a vehicle since road construction created road blocks on either end.
