Rock Creek Bridge: Sapulpa, OK
Hey, Friend! Welcome back to another post. Today, I want to show you the historic Rock Creek Bridge in Sapulpa, Oklahoma. Let’s get started!. “Historic Bridge No. 18 at Rock Creek was built by the Concrete and Steel Construction Company (A New York Company with an office in Joplin, Missouri) and constructed in 1924. Route 66 travelers who crossed Rock Creek during the 1920s would have thought the bridge to be the most dynamic design at its time. The bridge spans one hundred and twenty feet long, is eighteen feet in width, and runs parallel with the former St. Louis & San Francisco Railway tracks. Of the hundreds of bridges along Route 66, Bridge No. 18 at Rock Creek is one of the only two renowned “Parker Through Truss” bridges. Its sister bridge, the Rio Puerco Bridge (1933), can be found just west of Albuquerque, New Mexico. What makes Bridge No. 18 at Rock Creek most unusual is its brick decking. Nearly all the bricks you see are those originally constrcted on the deck in 1924.
