Walkersville Bridge, Shelby County, MO, County Rd 452, Salt River North. View is looking easterly. There was a very official looking date painted on the bridge, 08-30-14. Either this is the date for it's next inspection or it's headed to it's last roundup this year. So get any photos done soon. There are only three of these bridges still left over the Salt. One in Knox County CR 351, this one in Shelby and one in Pike (abandoned).This panoramic photo is a 32 individual shots stitched in PhotoShop Elements 9.
