Bridge near Vinita named to National Register

A 1926 bridge on Route 66 east of Vinita, Okla., was named to the National Register of Historic Places, effective March 4, according to a release sent today by the National Park Service.

The bridge is over the Little Cabin Creek on what is also U.S. 60/69 east of town. I don’t have a photo of it handy, but it’s my recollection that it’s a small pony truss bridge.

UPDATE 3/29/09: The Tulsa World today has a nice photo of the bridge, along with the announcement and photo of a stone arch bridge also being placed on the National Register. The stone bridge isn’t on Route 66, but it’s still a beauty to see.
