Comments
Big Creek 167th Street Bridge
I remember driving over this bridge a few years ago and being stunned at how similar it was to "my" bridge (Longfellow bridge, Bates County" the two were nearly twins, except this one had a wooden deck. I'm not sure how long it's been gone, but I do know it was still there in 2004. When I drove over the new slab today, I noticed about 75 feet to the east were some remnanats of an old abutment, and they were NOT from this bridge listed here, it must have been from a previous bridge, I will try and find out what kind of bridge it was.
