County Route 521's crossing of the Lackawanna Cut-Off rail line in Blairstown in this November 2006 photo: the original one-lane 1910 reinforced concrete bridge (left) has been returned to mint condition and nears its grand reopening while its brand new, and virtually identical, sister bridge is already in service. The two bridges and the reconfigured access roadways serve to both preserve the original bridge and to provide highway standards that the Lackawanna Railroad's engineers never envisioned.
