This is the old highway 90 where it crossed the Suwannee River near the old town of Ellaville. The bridge was built sometime around 1925 and was abandoned in the later 1900's when the modern Route 90 was built. It was also once called the Hillman Bridge or Ellaville Bridge. A great relic of history still standing here in Florida, hopefully it will be here for many years to come.

Florida trailblazer you should do a video on the old inhabitants of the original cedar key and the old pencil factory
