How do you rate something like a bridge? Hey, most of us really take things like bridges for granted, but once you drive across something like this, you’ll have a new appreciation for modern construction.

When you drive up to this bridge, the first thing that crosses your mind is, “Huh? Can I actually drive across this? Is it safe?” I can assure you that this bridge is open for business, but I cannot assure you of its safety. It was built back in the 1920s and it has the rust to prove it. The lanes are really not wide enough for two normal-sized cars to safely traverse the bridge at once, so this really ought to be considered a one-lane bridge.

While you’re driving across it, you may experience either fear due to the potential of dropping a very long way into the river rushing below you, or exhilaration similar to that you might have when on the loop-de-loop on a massive roller coaster.

When you finally arrive at the end of the bridge and wipe the sweat off your brow while thanking your lucky stars that the old rustbucket didn’t fall into the Missouri River during your crossing, you’re greeted by a very pleasant person who will pop out of a tiny shack and ask you for $1.25 for the use of the bridge. You will be so befuddled by the whole experience that I promise you that you will not bother to ask questions and instead will fork over the money, when in reality, you should be demanding ten times that amount yourself for the laundering of your shorts and upholstery, that is, if you were one of the aforementioned folks that might be frightened by this feat of ancient engineering.
