Cedar Bluff Bridge
Video
Cedar Bluff Bridge, Monroe County, MO 1080P/60fps. Recorded 08-10-2015. We'll drive over this bridge then explore it on foot. You'll see some insects buzzing around as well. The steel looks pitted on this one. The deck is wood planked and appears to be in good shape. The road to it appears to see very little traffic day to day, and it's likely that this bridge may not be replaced once it's closed. Mark Shannon |

Cedar Bluff Bridge
My son, Ken, & I visited here Columbus Day, 2017 (09.09.2017). Bridge still very solid, serviceable; on low use county road; located just 1/8 north of Bee Creek Pony Bridge. Picturesque photo ops abound here. We were a bit early for full fall colors.
Cedar Bluff Bridge
in the early to late 80's this bridge didnt have the runners on the deck just the cross planks. was always spooky crossing it because of the gaps between the boards and they bounced as you drove across it
