Coffeyville Bridge

Posted July 28, 2008, by Robert Elder (bass-tbn [at] ku [dot] edu)

Yes, the bridge is on east 8th street, east of Walter Johnson Park. I suspect that this bridge would easily qualify for the National Register of Historic Places and it would probably be a worthwhile venture for somebody to attempt to do so.

Is this the bridge on East 8th? Is there a possibility it will be torn down when the new WalMart is built? I would hate to see that happen.

My grandfather was an engineer on this bridge, and his name is on the plaque that is on the corner. :)
