A historic Route 66 bridge was removed and recently placed at the site of a forthcoming Route 66 roadside park outside of Hydro, Oklahoma.
The Weatherford Daily News posted this short video of workers placing the 1930 truss bridge at the site:
The newspaper reported:
Hydro was awarded $496,000 by the Oklahoma Route 66 Commission to create a brand-new “Welcome to Hydro” attraction park, with the newly placed bridge as the star of the show. The site will sit at the Route 66 and SH 58 four-way stop and will include fun community upgrades — even a cow food vending machine.
With the Route 66 Centennial coming in 2026, Hydro is gearing up to shine right along the Mother Road. Big year. Big bridge. Big energy.
The bridge originally sat three-quarters of a mile west of Lucille’s gas station in Hydro.
