John Snodgrass Bridge
Posted June 16, 2010, by ROBERT REED HUTCHINGS (DIRTRIDER444444 [at] AOL [dot] COM)

I THINK YOUR DATE OF 1958 IS TO LATE.

IT MAY HAVE BEEN OPENED TO THE PUBLIC IN EARLY 1958.

MY FATHER, ATWILL REED HUTCHINGS WAS THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR KANSAS CITY BRIDGE CO. ON THIS PROJECT.

KANSAS CITY BRIDGE CO. BUILT THE PIERS AND APPROCHES.

I TURNED 14 YRS OLD IN SEPT 1956 WHILE THESE WERE BEING BUILT.

WE MOVED IN 1957 TO PANAMA CITY, FLA. TO BUILD THE BRIDGE ACCROSS PANAMA CITY BAY.

THANKS, ROBERT REED HUTCHINGS
