Bonne Femme Creek Old US 63 Bridge
Posted September 5, 2011, by Andy Schuette

Dunno if anyone else has seen the plans for the airport overpass (MO H at US 63), but it includes reusing this bridge as part of a new outer road, connecting this to the current US63 that will also be part of the outer road. I can't find anything saying this bridge will be replaced, so it seems it will remain in use for the time being, and with plenty of traffic in a year or two once the project is done.
