“Bridging Time” — a monthly series featuring photos by Calvin Sneed — highlights steel truss and concrete arch bridges throughout the United States. During his travels, Calvin has taken thousands of photos of more than 1,150 bridges (mostly in the Southeast). He can be reached at douglassriverview@gmail.com. This month’s featured bridge is the High Bridge over the Kentucky River.
