The mill ruins are at on end of the steel truss bridge while the concrete powerhouse is at the east edge.
The flour mill washed away, but the foundations, the race, and main bevel gears are intact. A large turbine rests on the floor of the mill.
The bridge is only for pedestian foot traffic, so a separate road from Sh N leads to the other side of the bridge.
The powerhouse at the eastern edge of the steel truss bridge. The steel bridge has two large, high spans on the western end, and two lower steel spans on the eastern end. The gearing and bar screens for the powerhouse are in place, but probably not operatable.
