Wallaby Road Truss Bridge near Gum Road - Newton County, MO USA - Truss Bridges on Waymarking.com

This simple through truss bridge does not have the overhead struts. It looks like it is a modified Warren Truss bridge. Which is nice, since my first name is Warren. This bridge is about 1 mile west of the county line for Newton and Lawrence Counties. It takes Wallaby Road over the Hutchison Branch, which it a tributary that flows into the Douthit Branch, which flows into the large Clear Creek.

There is no place to park north of the bridge without blocking a driveway or a field access. But there is a bit of shoulder south of the bridge. The parking coordinates are where I parked on the west side of Wallaby Road south of the bridge. Traffic is light enough, and one can see any vehicles coming for a long ways; so I stepped to the center (both directions) of the bridge to get the waypoint for the coordinates.
