Rowe Valley truss bridge connects to history

Situated over the San Gabriel River between Jonah and Circleville, just off State Highway 29, sits a now abandoned truss bridge that was originally built in 1909. Colloquially called the Rowe Valley Bridge, the Easley Bridge has three sections of crisscrossed iron that tower above the river.
