Byars Bridge. Built in 1902 for the Train Track. We Jeeped today, hit the river and made a day out of it!

Last photo shows it from a side shot, not our photo, but it shows all three spans. I as a youngster have climbed and walked all three spans many many times. We have ran that river from Purcell to Lake Eufaula on Dirt Bikes, ATVs, UTVs, Horse Back and Jeeps over my life.

Earlier this year my 22 year old son, had to substitute for a school bus run and called me when he got to it and asked if it would hold the 77 passenger school bus he was driving. Google maps said it was the fastest way.
LoL
It did!!!!


Smart kid if he didn’t know!

It's definitely a load posted bridge that's been taken off the system i thought. We got rid of all the old truss bridges back about 2005-2010.
I vaguely recall this project and there should be a.new bridge nearby?
