This bridge, constructed in 1937 with WPA labor is typical of many seen throughout the State. At the road, each side of the bridge has four concrete pillars approximately 3 ft. high, each with an inset portion. The WPA shield is stamped onto the curbing at the center of the bridge.
This bridge crosses a small creek and has two openings, each about 5 ft high and 8 ft. wide. At the time of inspection, Oklahoma was in the midst of a prolonged drought, and still water is seen standing under the bridge. During the rainy season in late Spring, the creek must have quite a torrent of water flowing through it.
