Bridge No. 18 at Rock Creek This bridge was built in 1921 to serve the Ozark Trail. It became part of Route 66 in 1926 when the Chicago to Los Angeles route was initiated. The bridge served motorists traveling on U.S. 66 until a new highway was built to the south in 1952.

This might be the first through truss bridge I've ever seen with a brick road surface. It's located west of Sapulpa, OK in Creek County. This several mile alignment beyond this bridge is drivable, but hasn't been paved in quite a while; it's full of potholes and you can't go fast. The bridge itself is structurally deficient - while it was open in the summer of 2022, it was closed for a couple of years last decade.

Off in the distance, you can see the screen for the old Tee-Pee drive-in Movie theater which had been abandoned for a while but is reopening soon.
