Significance: Defiance Road Bridge is a turn of the century pin-connected steel Pratt through-truss. Its significance lies in its importance as an example of the major bridge form used during the development of roads in Missouri from around 1880 to 1920. While common until recently, the form is rapidly disappearing.
