This bridge is just east of the Underpass Cafe and just a bit west of
the Meramec Caverns Barn Signs. The bridge is labeled as having a 14 foot
7 inch clearance but used to have only 13 feet 5 inches of clearance.
The lower clearance no doubt eventually became a problem as trucks became
taller.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
