"The Y Bridge across the James River at Galena in central Stone County served both Missouri state highways 44 and 43. It is on axis with the north side of the square and four blocks east. The bridge itself is of reinforced concrete construction and incorporates 5 principal and 10 secondary spans to carry a deck which is 23 feet wide and which is a total of just under 76 feet long. The abutment on the west end of the bridge and the abutments for each arm of the Y on the east end are all set into steep slopes which descend to the river bottom area in what is a narrow place in the James River valley. The eastern or Y end of the bridge terminates in a restricted area below a bluff just wide enough for the eastern approach spans of the bridge and the roadway which runs perpendicular to the bridge under the face of the bluff. Beyond the west end of the bridge the land rises less steeply, however, the road continuing the axis of the bridge up past the railroad depot to the courthouse square has a considerable grade."
