Just west of Gay Parita Sinclair Station on the pre-1960's alignment of Route 66 (MO 266) is the 215 foot long 1923 Triple Warren Pony-Truss Bridge over Turnback Creek. The longest span is a few inches short of 70 feet and the deck is only 20 feet wide.

x When we snapped this photo in 2013 traffic on the bridge was restricted to 8 tons and 15 miles per hour.

x 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
xDid 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.
