This dated bridge plaque is at the southwest end of the Canadian River Bridge on Highway 8 in east Caddo County. This is the longest bridge on Route 66, at 1202 meters length and with forty pony trusses. The bridge was a joint effort between the state and federal government. The construction contract was awarded on August 2, 1932, and the bridge was accepted on July 1, 1933. Things moved a lot faster back then!
