County of bridge: Franklin COunty
Location of bridge: Over Fiddle Creek, near Labadie Bottom Road, between Labadie and St. Albans

From parking location walk over levee, you will see bridge, about 100 yards due east over the creek.
It may look on Google as if you can drive stright up to the bridge, but alas you can not. The roadways to the north and south of the bridge are closed by the power plant and NO Trespassing Areas.
Only way in that I could find is from Labadie Bottom Road.
