This is the longest pony truss bridge on the Route. It was featured in the film Grapes of Wrath. Near the west end of the bridge was where they shot the footage when Grandpa died.
This plaque on the other side of the bridge reads:

Just east of the Canadian River you can see the red rock that extends southward toward Red Rock Canyon.
