Note: stream flow is completely blocked from the pier at the midpoint of the bridge to the eastern bridge abutment gravel bed deposited on the left-descending shoreline has resulted in water coming under the bridge with high energy, undercutting the right descending shoreline, causing the concrete retaining wall to collapse and exposing the wood tar to Kinzua Creek.
