What's interesting about these twin bridges is that they're identical ... almost. Just as in real life, these identical twins are slightly different. The earlier bridge was built in 1934 when Route 66 was a two-lane road; it is 24 feet wide. It's "twin" was built when Route 66 was expanded to four-lanes in 1957; it's 28 feet wide. Otherwise, they're built to be identical.

From one vantage point, it appears there's another sibling near by. You can see it in the background of the default picture above. That one arch bridge is built for trains and not cars so at best we could consider it a fraternal triplet.
