bridges

They don't make bridges like this anymore. There's a new video showing one of these historic spans in Illinois that was built years before Abraham Lincoln became President of the United States.

There are some things in life it's just not a good idea to do. Don't spit into the wind. Don't step on Superman's cape. And, don't flash your headlights 3 times if you go to what many believe is a very haunted Missouri bridge.

It was originally built as a span to cross from Missouri into Illinois for vehicles. Those days are long gone, but this mile-long crooked Missouri bridge still hides a terrible almost 32 year old secret.

It was first discovered in 1797 and was soon filled with a large mill and a covered bridge for wagons. Now, this Missouri ghost town is only a shadow of its former self, but the rich history remains in this lonely place.

Traffic jams are slightly different when you're in the rural parts of Missouri. This is a perfect example. A driver shared video as he was stuck behind a herd of wild horses on a bridge crossing the Current River in the Show Me State.

It used to be known as being the only bridge on Route 66 that featured a curve. Now, this Missouri bridge known as Devil's Curve has been left behind by time although life continues to cross it to this day.

When it was first built, the only vehicles were wagons and early cars. Now, this Missouri swinging bridge has been deemed too dangerous to cross, but there are efforts to save it.

If you don't mind being a little daring, there's a hike you can do in Illinois that will take you across one of the most scenic structures in the state. It's a 90 foot stone bridge and there are no railings to hold onto.

There are multiple reports and video showing that a bridge under construction in northwest Missouri has collapsed with injuries and at least one fatality that is known at this time.

This is why we can't have nice things. A new video share reveals that vandals are being allowed to deface and in some cases destroy many of Illinois' historic covered bridges.
