Ralston Bridge K-Truss bridge built in 1935 over the Arkansas River in Ralston, Oklahoma on OK 18. Video posted by J Lance |
Parts of 'Twister' were filmed in Texas. In one scene, a Texas farm road route marker sign can be seen.
Thanks so much for posting the photo... definitely looks close, they even got the rebar set for the railing.
Rhys,
Thanks for sharing the status of the bridge. How far along is the replacement bridge? Trying to get a sense of when the historic bridge will be demolished.
Seen in the opening credits of the movie Twister, filmed in Oklahoma and in Boone, Hardin, and Story counties in Iowa.
This state is fast moving to catch up with Pennsylvania for lack of preservation and rampant demolition. This bridge is doomed, and its one of the best K-trusses in the state!
This bridge is a monster. It has to be seen in person to be appreciated. The K-truss design is common in Oklahoma but seems to be rare elsewhere.
Drove past last weekend and only three through spans and two pony spans at east end were still standing.
Such a pity.
This was the first bridge I photographed.
