Description
"The Lake of the Ozarks is an artificial lake with a shore line of approximately 2,500 miles, and its creation necessitated the construction of this highway bridge.
Construction is of the hurricane-deck type, the roadway being supported on three main steel arches and two side spans. The two concrete approaches are each 68 feet 6 inches long, the two side spans are each 377 feet long, and the three main spans are each 463 feet long, making a total length for the bridge of 2,280 feet. The roadway is 22 feet wide and there are two 4-foot sidewalks. The four concrete piers rest on bedrock.
The project was completed in May 1937 at a construction cost of $578,551 and a project cost of $655,973."
