Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge — Attraction in Gonzales

as of (3/15/2017) when I rode my bike down here it was closed. There was cops blocking the entryway several thousand feet before the canyon bridge, so I couldn't even see it being destroyed by a wrecking ball . They say the bridge will be under construction for at least 9-12 months. there's no way you can access the other side of the bridge except for helicopter.

UPDATE: On a good note, the amazing Pfeiffer Beach's easy-to-miss entrance is right here by THIS bridge!! South bound, right hand side, just before the bridge, a yellow Narrow Road 🚸 sign, a sharp turn down hill onto Sycamore Canyon Road, long drive. It's really beautiful if you happen to...
