Historic Route 66
Bridgeport Pony Bridge, OK

When Route 66 was first built, this spot in Bridgeport was the western end of two safe water crossings over the Canadian River. The Pony Bridge at the Canadian River is 3,944.33 feet long and contains 38 pony trusses. It was completed July 1, 1933. An interesting fact about this historic steel truss bridge is that it is featured in the 1939 classic film “The Grapes of Wrath” starring Henry Fonda. The bridge was only 6 years old when the movie was filmed.
