i have a postcard of the bridge.dont know the date of it, but the back of the card is marked smithville mo. im guessing it is from the 50s or early 60s
By the way this bridge was not destroyed by the flood of "65".
The flood laid the bridge over on its side, and Platte county moved the bridge to the Platte County fair grounds.
It was then destroyed by Fire.

Does any one have a photo of this bridge.
I am working on doing an oil painting of this bridge.
I remember this as a boy and am looking for all the photos I can find on this bridge.
It has been hard finding a photo.
Thanks,
I visited this bridge in the spring of 1973 when it was on dry land. I have two black and white photographs taken at that time.
