LX2313: D 73 1985 (NGS, Redding, CT) - U.S. Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

DESCRIBED BY NATIONAL GEODETIC SURVEY 1985 1.4 KM (0.85 MI) SW FROM REDDING RIDGE. 1.4 KM (0.85 MI) SOUTHWEST ALONG CROSS HIGHWAY FROM THE JUNCTION OF STATE HIGHWAY 58 IN REDDING RIDGE TO THE MARK ON THE LEFT, IN THE SOUTHWEST ABUTMENT OF THE BRIDGE OVER LITTLE RIVER, 3.5 METERS (11.5 FT) SOUTH OF THE CENTERLINE OF CROSS HIGHWAY. THE MARK IS ABOVE LEVEL WITH CROSS HIGHWAY.

This mark is in good condition, but the bridge looks deteriorated, and replacement my take place in the near future.

WARNING! The bridge is narrow, and so is the roadway here, and it is heavily traveled. Parking a vehicle in this area is difficult, if not outright hazardous. I had to park at the head of a resident's driveway and move quickly to get photos and then move along. Plan ahead and be careful!

This mark is listed both here, and at the Geocaching site as well. Please consider logging it at both sites when you find it. Thank you.
