Built in 1929 the Old Dunham Bridge is a steal and truss bridge which stretches over the Saluda River in Greenville SC.  This Bridge was still being used in the late 1990’s.  It was so narrow that only one car could cross at a time.  This Bridge is the last remaining Steel Truss Bridge in SC that has its complete structure.  For a better view of the bridge you can go to Dolly Cooper Park.
