This bridge is one of the rare truss bridges left on Route 66, certainly one of this size. And it is one of the greatest photo ops you will find along Route 66, in the middle of one of the most scenic parts of Route 66 you will find anywhere. It is impossible for me to understand how this bridge cannot be repaired...BUT at what cost? I guess I have to ask in response, when will the day come when we look at what is supposed to be a 2,448 mile ribbon of modern american history and ask ourselves when it is time to save something when the alternative is a 2,448 mile ribbon???
