Center Creek Overflow Bridge
Share: 
Brief History
Written by David BacklinThis bridge and its companion (Center Creek Bridge) were built in 1926 along what then designated State Highway 38N, which became Optional US 71 (later called Alternate US 71) around 1933. A new bridge and roadway were built circa 1960 to serve northbound traffic while the old roadway continued to serve southbound traffic (albeit just one lane of traffic across the bridges).
In 1990, a new southbound alignment and bridges were built to replace the old 1926 roadway, which continues to serve as a local access road. In 1996, Alternate US 71 was redesignated as "mainline" US 71 between I-44 and Carthage, MO.
