Horse Creek Bridge
ODOT has selected its preferred alternative, which is to replace the Horse Creek bridge and construct a new bridge on the current alignment. Federal Highways Administration has approved this alternative. The new bridge will be a 40-foot wide structure and will have crash-tested context-sensitive railings that are only being used on Oklahoma's Route 66 bridges. The cultural resources studies and consultation are available by clicking the link below.

Horse Creek Bridge Section 106 consultation
ODOT is considering improvements to the bridge carrying US-60 over Horse Creek, in Afton. The Horse Creek Bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on December 19, 1994 (NR ID 95000040). The subject bridge is listed on the NRHP under criterion A for its association with Route 66. It should be noted that the structure was also constructed under a New Deal Works Program Project W.P.H. (Works Progress Highway) 8-SEC.”D-BR”.
As part of the Section 106 process, public involvement using drop in centers are planned. ODOT has tasked a Consultant to develop alternatives for improving the bridge including the no build, build on new location (one-way pair or leave as monument), rehabilitation of the existing bridge while maintaining the historic integrity of the bridge.
