Missouri budget plans include $6 million to rebuild the bridge at Route 66 State Park outside of St. Louis near Eureka. It will be a pedestrian bridge.
It is 20 feet wide and 1,008 feet long and closed October 2009 and the driving surface removed.
Known as the Meramec River Bridge and was built at Times Beach in 1932. Times Beach was evacuated in the 1980s because of dioxin contaminant.
The main office of the park is at the former Steiny's Inn restaurant.

Santa Monica Pier was saved from destruction fifty years ago. It opened in 1909 to carry sewage pipes out to sea. By 1916, it started looking as it does today.
Sure glad they kept it.
