Cricket Creek Valley Bridge
Posted April 4, 2010, by Trent Dowler (tdowler [at] grnco [dot] net)

This bridge is not hard to find, but here's the GPS coordinates for this bridge since they were not listed on the bridges page. 36°27'41" N, 93°13'10"W

Access below the bridge(s) is easily obtained by turning onto the road just before crossing the bridge if you're in the south-bound lane. My mapping software has it named as Pine Crest Rd.

Sorry, no additional pics taken on this trip.
