A Majestic 1909 Bridge

A Majestic 1909 Bridge

This majestic Pratt Thru-Truss bridge, constructed in 1909 is located south of the town of Bixby in Tulsa County, Oklahoma. At some point updated from a wooden deck to a steel grate deck, this bridge still sports its original cast iron builders plates sitting proudly atop each entrance portal.

What a magnet!! The sight of the road passing thru' a magnificent portal and then disappearing into that beckoning landscape is such a lure .... wish I was there just to take the drive down that road and see what's waiting.

I'm always amazed that you are finding so many different bridges for you project.
Really nice with the builder plate.
