The old overpass over Ginger Road was built in the 1920's. In 1930 the USCGS placed this disk on the Northeast abutment. Just a walk up the bank on the Northwest side of the bridge, you will come to the top of the abutment. The disk is on the abutment so there is no need to go on the bridge itself.
