Chicken Bridge got it's name after a truck, loaded with chickens, crashed at the bridge. The surviving chickens hung out at the bridge for several weeks afterward. The Air Force used to use the bridge as a target for mock bombing runs. It was not unusual to have an A-4 Skyhawk or an F-4 Phantom zoom over you at low levels. They made the Air Force stop this practice back in the early 80s.
