Calumet Creek MO 79 Bridge

Posted October 30, 2009, by Philip Manhart (phil [dot] j [dot] manhart [at] usace [dot] army [dot] mil)

Prior to the MO 79 bridge, the road followed what is today county road 240 over Calumet Creek to Hwy N (map attached referse to it as Pike Rd 288). The old bridge abutments are still in place (picture Attached) as well as a defined road bed. The old bridge has been washed out. I am trying to find out some information about this old bridge crossing. The year is was built, etc. Can you help me?
