Wow I haven't seen this in a while and having been born in Hertford it does take me back years, O the memories. Great Posting! Though many of us don't live in Hertford in longer it is with joy to see something like this that bring back so much memories.

Hertford, my hometown... man I miss that place and North Carolina
-
the bridge isnt so much the problem as the causeway...that damn thing floods when the wind is high
-
I hated going over the bridge cuz it was so old. When it rains, the bridge gets flooded and you can see where your're going very scary.

My mom said that the bridge is so old that they can find the bottom to repair it. I guess whoever built it then knew what they were doing. Im from Hertford.

I know. I had to drive across it everyday. I only recently learned that water actually flows under the causeway, so it almost has to just float there
The last time I went across this bridge was about 1966, when my family went on a trip from Chesapeake, VA to visit my grandma in Grimesland, NC.

@fordude60 I bet it as a slightly different site back then. It's in danger again now...there are signs all over saying "Save our bridge, save our town"

Last year they took out a chunk of road to repair it. I ran down to the construction site one day - about ten feet down, it's water that runs underneath. I wonder, though, how they managed to make it last for decades, and these guys can't fix it with modern equipment?

Yes. It used to be the longest one, but currently it's the only one - and not for many more years. They already have a plan to bypasss it because they can't keep the road built up leading in from 17...it sinks a lot very quickly.

You have a house there and haven't been since 1996? Is it rented?
