This is one of the many big truss bridges built during the 1930s. It was reconstructed in 1998. Scott Lucas was a US Senator from 1938 to 1950.

 |
| Jack Tanner Towing posted 25.3 ft today (7-18-15). With no rise or fall this weekend in the forecast, we should start to see it start to fall by Monday. The river opened up yesterday to commercial traffic again from mile marker 30 to 80 (which had been closed for 3 days). With the summer towards a close there's a slight chance recreational traffic might see an opening in late July early August. |

| Jack Tanner Towing posted River today (25.3 ft) compared to almost normal pool (around 7 ft)! |

| Jack Tanner Towing posted Is it June or November? Hard to tell as many barges are being loaded! Nice and busy the past few weeks! |
