Was reading the HAER documentation about this bridge and noticed the following paragraph:
"As the proposed bridge replacement project progresses, the American Mill Bridge metal truss and stone abutments will be matchmarked, disassembled, and transported to Hermann, Missouri. There it will be reassembled over Frene Creek for use as a pedestrian bridge. First Missouri Bank of Gasconade County has accepted responsibility for the transport and reassembly of the bridge in an appropriate setting."
I can't find any through truss bridge over this creek and assume that perhaps this was never completed.
