BRIDGE NO. 18 AT ROCK CREEK |
| Description of Significance |
BRIDGE NO. 18 AT ROCK CREEK, CONSTRUCTED IN 1924 SOUTHWEST OF SAPULPA, IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A PARKER THROUGH TRUSS BRIDGE ON ROUTE 66 IN OKLAHOMA. THIS TYPE OF BRIDGE DESIGN WAS USED EXTENSIVELY ALONG ROUTE 66 DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY FOR LARGE BRIDGES. IN 1952, THIS SECTION OF ROUTE 66 WAS ABANDONED AND A NEW SECTION OF HIGHWAY WITH A NEW CONCRETE BRIDGE WAS BUILT NEARBY. ALTHOUGH A NUMBER OF BRIDGES WERE BUILT ON ROUTE 66, BRIDGE NO. 18 AT ROCK CREEK IS ONE OF THE FEW EXTANT STEEL TRUSS BRIDGES. TODAY, THE BRIDGE RETAINS A HIGH DEGREE OF HISTORICAL AND STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. LISTED IN NATIONAL REGISTER 2/23/95. |
