Long Creek Bridge, Focus on Bridges Programmatic Agreement

Taney 86, J7S3194, Bridge K0590—Long Creek Bridge, Highway 86 over Table Rock Lake

Bridge A0590 is a 1,571’ bridge constructed in 1956. It is comprised of four approach spans and three main spans. The configuration of the spans is: (180’) through truss approach span, (360’- 480’- 360’) continuous through truss main spans, and three (60’) steel girder approach spans. The bridge has a deck roadway width of 22’, and has a vertical clearance of 15’ 9” over the deck.

The bridge was designed by Sverdrup & Parcel for the Corps of Engineers to replace a bridge that would be affected by the inundation of Table Rock Lake. There are nine bridges within the Corps Table Rock Project area. These bridges include three through trusses and six girder spans. Seven of the bridges and one culvert were designed by Sverdrup & Parcel for the Corps of Engineers and were constructed in 1956 or 1957. Two were designed by the State Highway Department and were constructed in 1962 or 1963, both are girder spans.

Bridge A0590 is recommended as eligible for listing on the NRHP under criterion A for its association with the inundation of Table Rock Lake, an event that had a significant impact on Taney, Stone and Barry Counties. It is also recommended as eligible under criterion C for engineering significance as a major bridge on the state highway system and as the longest bridge associated with Table Rock Lake in Missouri.
