Comanche County Blue Beaver Creek – 1916 Pratt Pony Truss
The Blue Beaver Creek Pratt Pony Truss design is indicative of its rural setting, period of construction, and early bridge building developments in Comanche County. Although the Pratt pony truss was a common bridge type in Oklahoma and elsewhere, the Blue Beaver Creek example was much longer in length than the average bridge of its type, as well as originally being placed higher above the water than most other Pratt ponies in Oklahoma. HAER documentation Status: Adopted by Y’Shua Camp. The bridge crosses Medicine Creek, a meandering creek that runs roughly northwest to southeast in this area. Location (KMZ file): On a private drive accessed from NW Comanche Drive and Apache Drive approximately 1 mile north and 1 mile west of Meers. |

Tulsa County - SH-11 Hominy Creek 1940 K-thru Truss
This type of thru truss is rare, nationally, but ODOT adopted its design as a standard plan in the 1930s, making it a prevalent structure type in Oklahoma until the 1950s. Through replacement, however, there are very few left. This bridge was adopted by a private citizen in Skiatook and moved roughly 2.5 miles north to be placed roughly 150 feet east of SH-11, just north of 136th Street for public display and visitation.
