Pryor Creek Bridge

Rogers County · northeast of Chelsea on OK-66

The Pryor Creek Bridge was built in 1926 and carried traffic on US-66 from 1926 to 1932, when a new alignment of Route 66 bypassed the bridge. The bridge is 123 feet in length with a total width of 19 feet. It is the only remaining unaltered example of a modified Pratt through truss bridge in Oklahoma.
