This small swinging bridge, way out in the country, is roughly 80' long by 3' wide to cross the meandering and shallow Copper Creek. One end is below the current roadway, while the other side stops in a grazing field. It probably served as a connector between the few farm houses in the valley. Last inspected by Virginia in 2009 per posted sign.
Reached by taking SR 674 (Ponderosa Road) from either side. The roadway now crossed the creek upstream on a bridge without any railings.
