end of the road (before "T-ing" with Well Road).
The Sock Road Bridge (also called the Westphal Bridge), is a small bridge that spans over the Beaver Dam River, about a mile northeast of the village of Lowell.
The bridge that originally sat on Sock road was a metal truss bridge, built in 1893. Before it was demolished in 1980, it was one of the oldest metal truss bridges in Wisconsin.
The current bridge on Sock Road, is a less "flashy", two-lane bridge.
Unknown.
Some sites incorrectly name the bridge in Lowell as the Sock Road Bridge. It isn't.The bridge in the village of Lowell, is pretty cool, but as far as I have read, the bridge that
has activity, is on Sock Road.
