Built in 1933 and bypassed in 2007, this bridge has an overall length of 395 feet, and features a state-standard 210-foot Parker-K truss through span. This bridge was built by Pharoah & Co. of Henryetta Oklahoma, and stands several miles east of Henryetta. The above photo looks east through the bridge. We are grateful that this bridge was not demolished upon completion of the new bridge.
