You can take this photo and that's it... You don't necessarily have to stop for it...

The bridge itself was amazing, however, from that viewpoint, you really can’t get a good view of the river. It’s dammed up and the dam is pretty much the only thing you can see and it’s quite far from the parking area. The parking area was dirty and there was even a dead skunk close by. I definitely would not waste your time stopping here. There are too many absolutely gorgeous places to spend your time looking at; this was not one of them.

Its a VERY tall bridge above a river a few hundred yards downstream of a dam. It's nice, but the views were obstructed by trees etc. If you're going through the area on US #2, then I recommend a quick stop. It's definitely not a destination location. Maybe so if you live in the area or want to hike here tho.
