MINING MAP OF MIHI CROSSINGS AREA 1899
It would appear that the second bridge was still in use at this stage, but merely as a siding.
There were no mines on the west side of the Mihi but coal remnants suggests that it was used for coal all the same.

Walkway was designed so as to look similar to the original Warren Trusses of the first bridge. The second bridge was possibly just a timber trestle type.
