Abutments for the previous bridge still remain upstream of the current bridge; this was likely a Camelback design as was the Wakonda River Bridge in LaGrange replaced about the same time. The LaGrange bridge or possibly the previous Taylor bridge was moved to Steffenville, MO and it still remains there as of 2018. See Deacon/Mesmer Bridge, Shelby County, MO.
