Man, I wish someone would just photograph this bridge before it could get demolished. I would have just loved to see how it used to look like.

Yes, I strongly suspect that this is the old bridge that Sheldon was looking for. I have driven this old road, and much of it is very narrow and still paved with brick.

Nice find! Appears to be 1930's/early 40's era. Looking at a map of the area, it looks like an old alignment of US 50.

There is also a Tee Beam bridge just to the South of this modern bridge. It is undoubtedly lurking in the NBI, but I have not yet added it to Bridgehunter.

Here is the Streetview: http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&ie=UTF8&ll=38.242528,-96.922...

I found the older bridge in the 1992 NBI listings. I have changed this entry to reflect the bridge that was *REPLACED* rather than the modern-day bridge.

There wasn't. Well, where else could highway 50 go?

Wasn't there an old bridge before this one? Because if this bridge is not historic, there had to be an earlier bridge before this one. So it was probably replaced in 1995.
