The Y Bridge is an Old Highway bridge spanning the James River. Located at Galena, Missouri it is named the Y Bridge because it is unique shaped like the letter Y.
This is one of my favorite bridges in the Ozarks there is another older partial bridge just south of here as well.
This is also not far from where the Famous James Gang hung out.
Probably where the James River got its name.
I still have some benchmarks over here I have not found so I will be back again someday.
As always have fun be safe and
