Reconstruction of Oklahoma's Pony Bridge near Bridgeport won't start until June.
It will be closed for two years but you can still drive across it until June.'
ODoT has a $22 million grant from the federal government.
The bridge will be widened to modern standards, but the pony trusses will be reattached thankfully.
It was opened in 1934 as the William H. Murray Bridge and is 3,900 feet long with 38 yellow pony trusses and was featured at one point in the 1939 film "The Grapes of Wrath."
So, if you want to go over it, you'd better get a move on.

The Route 66 Matchbook Cover Database is looking for more submissions.
They currently have 650 matchbook covers from Texas and now want some from other states.
You can view the collection at the site.
So, if you have some hanging around, you know what to do.
That Pony Bridge Is as Much Fun to Drive Over as the Chain of Rocks Bridge. --RoadDog
