North Big River Bridge
I was at this bridge in the first part of April(2008) and it was blocked at the south approach.

how was this bridge made obsolete?? taking berry road north from bonne terre to access side roads such as primrose and silver springs road, is much safer than taking 67 norh and crossing over the highway,playing chicken with the on coming cars. i beleive that this bridge should be maintained and safe at all times ,and not thought as an unused road because to those who want to be safe like to think that the option will always be avaible. i could understand closing the bridge only if our highway 67 was a proper highway and had safe on and off ramps.
