Description
Although there are signs advising that the road is private the most recent county road map shows the road and bridge still in the county system. Chariton Highway Department 660-288-3846 could not be reached for confirmation.
The road on the east side is overgrown and too muddy to attempt in a car. From the west the road gets overgrown with grass but is drivable--assuming it's still public property.

It's still there. I think you can drive across it.
