Bridge closed during EPA cleanup, 1985
In this September 1985 photo of the east end of the bridge, the road (US 66) has been closed by the EPA for the cleanup of dioxin in Times Beach, at the other end of the bridge. "Weight Limit 60 Tons" can still be seen at the extreme right. The white trailer in the center is the temporary EPA office. The "West Galley Centre Dining and Cocktails" sign is for the restaurant which today houses the US 66 State Park Visitor Center.

May 23, 1932
May 23, 1932 - The bridge carrying the new Route 66 over the Meramec River at Times Beach was completed. After the cleanup of the dioxin contaminated site of Times Beach, it served as the entrance to Route 66 State Park. The bridge was closed due to deterioration on October 29, 2009. Through a major donation from Stupp Brothers Incorporated, the bridge still stands. But millions more are needed for restoration.

This bridge is located on a high-speed stretch of North Lindbergh Boulevard, accessible via U-turn ramps on either side. MoDOT removed the stone balustrades that once graced this bridge during the 1977 rehabilitation, and replaced them with ordinary concrete and steel guardrails which now makes it rather mundane-looking. But at least they left intact the stone-cladded arch span (see third photo). Two Mile Creek drains into Deer Creek.

Old bridge in Gravois Creek
As I was photographing the northern end of the Green Park Industrial Trestle, I found this abandoned railroad bridge. The Union Pacific Railroad abandoned the right-of-way (resulting in Grant's Trail you see in the background) through this area, and I believe this old bridge portion was a service spur used by Union Pacific to service the local businesses that used to be here.

Northern end
This picture was taken from Grant's Trail (the others were taken from the Green Park Industrial Drive area). I had to walk about 1/3rd mile down Grant's Trail from Green Park Road to get a distant peek of the northern abutment, then used a 10x zoom to capture this photo. I ran out of time and could not take any more pictures.

Getting ready to walk to the trestle
I returned in early January 2011 to get more pictures from the Grant's Trail side of the Green Park trestle. It all begins with the entrance to Grant's Trail, accessed here from Union and Green Park Roads.

Green Park Road
The yellow sign indicates the intersection is "Green Park Industrial Drive". Most of the pictures taken in August 2010 were from that side. Gravois Creek was in the way and I ran out of time to get additional pictures from Grant's Trail.
