Nichols Powers' Twin Bridge is still a bridge in the structural sense, even though it has been five decades since it spanned water. Originally located on the East Creek, this bridge along with it's twin, was washed off its abutment during a flood in 1947. Unfortunately the second twin was destroyed.
There has been talk about relocating the bridge to a nearby park but to date the bridge remains in its current location.
