West approach of old North Fork Red River bridge near Headrick, with striping and signing added

Headrick bridge at the North Fork of Red River on old U.S. 62 east of Headrick, OK retouched to appear what it might have looked like in the 1950s and early 1960s. Instead of retouching the "lattice" railing on lower section of pony trusses, I added the more common simpler railing used on the lower ponies by ODOT on truss bridges starting in 1933. This bridge was built in 1929.

Now that the bridge is closing, the time is right to consider turning it into a pedestrian bridge. To improve its appearance, the concrete could be cleaned up and sanded while the iron trusses could be rustproofed, primered and repainted either the correct reflective silver used by ODOT for many years before the yellow craze hit them in the 1980s.

Here is the original photo of the bridge from which the retouching was made: farm3.static.flickr.com/2742/4078433037_766e75a93b_b.jpg
