Description
In my estimation this was a former alignment of OK 2. My estimate is that it was built between 1926 & 1934. If anyone has a better estimate of hard information, I would love to hear it.
This bridge is literally "in the middle of nowhere". No public road leads to it, and you can't see it from any public road. You just have to have faith that there is a bridge until you get right up on it. This is private property, please don't trespass. You can see it on Google maps if you look real close.

Obviously the Mill Creek sister bridge was removed, but how odd that part of the concrete deck remains. See listing for that bridge.
