Description
This shot gives you a good view of the bridges deck. It appears it is being reclaimed by mother nature
The Callaway Fork Bridge on Old Highway D just west of New Melle Missouri in St. Charles county. This Pin-connected, 8-panel Pratt through truss bridge was constructed in 1909 by the Decatur Bridge Co. Made obsolete by new bridge in 1968 when they re-routed the highway.
some more shots I took of this old bridge
