Spring River Route D Bridge
Posted May 2, 2009, by Holli Carpenter (hollimcarpenter [at] hotmail [dot] com)

I live in Purcell, Mo. and drive this bridge daily. The photos on this page make the bridge look pretty. Have you seen it lately? We now have five metal plates in the road to keep us from falling into the river! (at least its passable) Come take new photos, you might think its funny!
