We sure had a blast climbing on those old RR bridges up and down that River to Eufaula. Every now and then the River would leave a good deep wash out underneath those old bridges, and jumping and diving could take place!
Interesting, I remember scoping that bridge project, I would have thought it was rebuilt by now.Still have fouche Maline bridge down here on state hwy.

Some of those truss bridges had a low clearance issue and trucks had hit the overhead beam. Those bridges were usually replaced quickly. And looking at this picture, the clearance is also low and you can see its been hit. Is it possible the highway was rerouted and a new bridge build at a different location and this one was given to the county? I cant remember the scope, that was too many years ago.Nope
This one has been hit many times. The road surface is horrendous. You can't dodge all the pot holes.Some of those truss bridges had a low clearance issue and trucks had hit the overhead beam. Those bridges were replaced quickly.
yes I edited my above post after looking at the pic closer.This one has been hit many times. The road surface is horrendous. You can't dodge all the pot holes.
I have found out trussed bridges are not on state highways, but the skeede bridge is on a county road and another trussed bridge is just south of Ponca on the Railroad for rail traffic only.We sure had a blast climbing on those old RR bridges up and down that River to Eufaula.

Not only low clearance top to bottom but side by side.Some of those truss bridges had a low clearance issue and trucks had hit the overhead beam. Those bridges were usually replaced quickly.
