 Left - Facing south towards Port Burwell along Hwy 19 at Otter Creek Bridge (Photograph taken on April 7, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - Eastern side of Otter Creek Bridge on Hwy 19. Structure completed in 1934. (Photograph taken on April 7, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) 
 Left - Western side of Otter Creek Bridge. This bridge is unusual because the rigid frame arch is located only underneath the travelled portion of the roadway. The shoulders were constructed on lateral concrete slab extensions which flanked a recessed rigid frame arch. (Photograph taken on April 7, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers) Right - This steel handrail design was introduced on a handful of bridges that were constructed by the Department of Highways in 1934. This new steel handrail became part of the standard parapet design for the Department of Highways for almost three decades. Unfortunately, this original 1934 steel handrail on the Otter Creek Bridge is showing its age and is now quite deteriorated. (Photograph taken on April 7, 2004 - © Cameron Bevers)
