When is Branson going to fix their 75 year old bridge in Branson? Believe it or not, the bridge was built in 1931..yes...75 years ago AND... its current state is "Structurally Deficient" from the last time it was inspected.
If you've ever been to Branson, you might notice that many times the traffic is at a standstill on this bridge. I wonder if they had this in mind when they built it 75 years ago?
I think its only a matter of time before the bridge gives in. It simply wasn't built to have bumper to bumper traffic going both directions...at a standstill.
Do bridges collapse? Yes...it isn't impossible. All of these negative factors could add up to a big mess sometime. Is Branson going to do anything about it? I doubt it. Unless they can figure a way to do it and skim some money off the top at the same time...which they are good at. So, perhaps they will fix it.

If this bridge happened to be on the route to Silver Dollar City
(steal your dollar city)
or a direct route to the Branson Landing, it would have been repaired long ago.
Its time the people that have to use that bridge everyday have a meeting at the end of the bridge,
Call KY3 and have someone there to "show and tell" what the bridge looks like. I have had more emails from the Hwy Department explaining how safe this bridge was than Carter had pills.
Its time to take other measures and get something done before it does fall in.

We don't have enough money to fix the Lake Taneycomo Bridge which was built in 1931. It is going to fall down one of thes days and it's possibly going to hurt,maim or kill hundreds of people,just like that old bridge in Minneapolis-St Paul, Minnesota!

We don't have the money to repir the historic old landmark bridge, the only one of it's kind left in the state of Missouri, because we are spending all of our available cash to maintain "PETE'S PIKE", aka the Herschend Highway, aka: Ozark Mountain Highroad and then to build a new entrance to Silver Dollar City, which is known to all local people as Steal Your Dollar City.
Taxpayers will have to foot this bill too.

We built 6 bridges on Pete's Pike, The Herschend Highway that 30 or 40 drive over everyday.
But we don't have the money to repair and fix the old Lake Taneycomo Bridge.
