If you are here because of "CSX/Southern Bridge over Potomac River at Washington DC," then you need to go there.

The Holladay Landing bridge, March 16, 1943, after Wappapello Dam had been constructed.

Anyone out there remember it?

This was known as the Kime to Chaonia bridge.

We fish it and always wondered what it looked like back in the day! Thanks for sharing!

To find the location of the bridge, I followed the road south of Kime, MO, until I found that it crossed the river at Chaonia. (Google Maps does not know about Kime, MO; but the USGS map does have it.)

I adjusted the transparency of the topo map so that I could also see the underlying USGS map to orient the bridge with today's shorelines.
