Significance: The Crooked River Bridge is a single span through Pratt truss with two steel beam approach spans. The bridge was built in 1893 by the John Dildine Company of Cameron, Missouri. Another 100-foot, five-panel Pratt truss built by John Dildine, Co. is still in use 1/4 mile north of the proposed replacement site. The Pratt-type truss was commonly built to service rural roads throughout the United States from the late 1890s through the early 1900s. Because of increased traffic and larger vehicles, this type of bridge is becoming inadequate and increasingly rare.
