It is a fond memory that I have of crossing the Davis Swinging Bridge on a few occasions! My father grew up not far from Davis and in my youth in the 50s and 60s we would travel across the bridge. I'd hear stories from my father of how the heavier vehicles would have the bridge's surface boards (which I presume were cable and/or chain supported) would rise up to almost appear to the driver to be as high as the truck's hood. Even in a car, you got a little of that sensation as you swayed and rocked on your way across the dangling, jangling surface of it. You also had somewhat of a quickened heart beat as you slowly made your way across it, hoping it was good for at least that one more crossing! I hope someone has a photo of it.
This bridge was located over the Cuivre River just south of the village of Davis, Missouri. The old wooden bridge became so dilapidated it was replaced, I'd estimate some time in the 1980s after we moved from the area.
