SEPTEMBER 12-- A $22 million federal grant for the reconstruction of the famous Pony Bridge near Bridgeport, Oklahoma, has been given. They will keep the historical yellow trusses.
Work on it is to begin in 2022.
AKA William H. Murray Bridge and is one of Route 66's most iconic spans. It appeared in in the 1939 movie "Grapes of Wrath." It crosses the South Canadian River.
Quite an impressive span with all those trusses. There was no river when we crossed it, though.
SEPTEMBER 18-- A new Route 66 Historic Trail bill has been introduced in Congress.
It was introduced by U.S. Representative Darin LaHood (R-Illinois). It is HR 8240 Bill.
Go, Bill. --RoadDog
