aluminum bridge up in the mountains - how to dismantle

found a roughly 12' long, 8' wide 2' tall aluminum bridge about 3 miles from nearest road. it has awesome aluminum i-beams about two feet tall, is generally just a hoss looking bridge in immaculate shape and probably 60 years old, no one has used in years. it has steel rivets holding it together. am guessing i might be able to take a portable oxy-acetylene torch up there to bust the rivets out (they're mostly 1" x 3" suckers, and a large pipe wrench might break the rest of the nuts off...) does anyone have any suggestions on this? in terms of scale it's much bigger than I'm used to. advice or opinions welcome. am guestimating that the whole thing is probably a ton or so. In spite of being on an old logging road it is not accessible at this point by anything motorized. not a chance. Get a couple of athletes together and call it cross training right? :)

thanks in advance

If it aint yours dont touch it. if its a old road it probobly belongs to the state.

If you don't have permission to take it, don't touch it. That would be like me taking a hundred street signs from a back country road that no one uses and selling it as scrap aluminum. No one may use the road, but it's not my property and I don't have permission to take it. It seems like common sense to me.

my question is why would you ask????........Reminds me of that show world's dumbest criminals............If you were going to take it you should have already gotten it and not told anyone...(Not trying to teach anyone how to be a criminal just proving a point)............Anyways another thread that should be deleted before it gets out of hand (LOL)

He obviously has not read the thread on here some where, of another couple of guys who thought the same thing, and now sitting in jail cells for theft, vandalism, destruction of property, and whatever else they were charged with.

You want it that bad, go to county records and find out who it belongs to...county, state, individual, business etc and obtain permission. Other wise, be prepared for some jail time.

Okay, let's cut him a little slack. "Out in the woods" suggests abandoned property to me." Although I would have found someone to ask, alibama may not be as experienced in this biz as y'all.

Who's property were you on when you found it. Be guided by common sense on this one. Find out who owns the property and see if they will let you remove. If its on state land, you probably have a snowballs chance in hell of getting it. If you weren't supposed to be on that piece of land to start with I would forget about it all together.

I love alum i beams, guys at scrap yard did not believe me they were al and double checked them over and over.
